I have been on the train of upgrading 2 OL spots (LT and RG) and getting one more pass rusher, at least a situational rusher, for the front 7.
Actually, some of the coaching changes have me excited to see what is possible.
Lazor is a guy that likes to run the ball, so he may be more run game coordinator....but it would be nice to see some balance.
Deflip has had some success getting the most out of a QB.
Castillo - We don't have enough money or draft picks to completely overhaul the o-line so Leno and Massie both need to return to 2018 form, and they need to find the RG that can give us average play. Additionally, keep Whitehair at Center and hope to see Daniel take a step forward after taking one back in 2019.
A TE that can take over the role that Burton is supposed to be filling - because this offense is reliant on a catching TE.
Draft or FA Edge Rusher that will take advantage of the Mack Triple team.
I guess you could say I am easily excited.
There isn't one for me cause i see 3 positions that need to be taken care of the most to have any chance at a playoff run next season at RG, TE and OLB.
Need a legit starting RG and i want him in free agency and not the draft so i already know he can play in the NFL.
Burton isn't going anywhere this year because we'd have to pay him almost all of his salary anyway so i don't care if we draft one or get one that we can depend on if Burton can't stay healthy again. However it's done we just need to make sure we have someone who can actually start at TE next year.
Have no idea what will happen with Floyd but if we keep him then get a legit 3rd guy in and if we cut Floyd then get a legit guy that can start opposite Mack.

Sign a legitimate starting QB better than Trubisky (there are several who are either available or likely to be available).
Draft a quarterback to develop and at least give some hope/a look forward to the future.
Get someone like a Hooper/Henry/Ebron-type at tight end.
Why? What if we can find ourselves in a similar situation that Seattle did when they had Flynn and drafted Wilson?? The only way to do that is to find a QB in the draft.
This. One of my concerns is that Mitch plays just well enough. I also hope Pace holds true to his initial statements when hired and drafts a QB every year until he hits and then drafts some more.Signing one stud OG and mid-tier OT in FA. Getting Ebron or an equivalent tight end. Drafting a speed WR with one of the 2nd round selections.
Those are the moves that will put the pieces in place to give Trubs and his vet competition a chance to succeed this year as well as preparing for the future if we end up drafting a QB high next year.
Make a list of the 2nd Rd or later QBs taken in the last 15 years that you would want them to draft.
It's a waste because you're using a valuable pick to try to find a needle in a haystack.
It's like if lottery tickets cost a months pay but still had the same chance of winning. Would you play? Can't win if you don't play! Can't win if you don't play!
Wait till 21 when they have a first.
I still take one one day 3. The odds have been better lately with changes in the college game though I do agree with your overall evaluation. If you take one in 5, you are not likely wasting the pick vs a starter at another position anyway. Set up your board for all positions and don't ignore the QB just because it's rare to succeed late in the draft.Make a list of the 2nd Rd or later QBs taken in the last 15 years that you would want them to draft.

Brees, Prescott, Brissette, Jimmy G, Grier , Minshew, Carr, Garoppolo, Fitz, Brady. That's 31% of starters not taken in one. Obviously the % of hit vs miss is way down vs 1st rounders but the idea that it's a near impossible is overstated. Obviously 6 of that 10 were taken in 2 or 3 and only one of the remaining has been an established perennial starter but it happens.
Modern era late round picks/UDFAs (played in last 20 years); Romo, Warner, Hasselback, Brunell, Bulger, Johnson.
I'm looking for viability and that list was far from all being meh. If a guy turns out just OK, he still has value as a backup or trade chip. You don't want mediocre LBs or WRs either. I guess we should just go home after day 2 of the draft. Like I said, you set up your board and stick to it. If you have an appropriately rated QB near your pick and are in need...Are you looking for another meh league average starter? In the last 15 years who would you want to build around? Wilson of course, after that there's a few guys who are better than Trubisky but do you want to build around them?
I'm just not interested in finding another mediocre QB. Some are and that's fine, just a difference in philosophy.
How about Fowler?
