One of the things that stands out to me after the draft ended, its even more apparent that this is a reset season. Key vets are gone, or unsigned and likely to remain unsigned. The draft skewed towards perceived positions of need in the early rounds with the acknowledgement that while those guys will play significant minutes by default, none of them are expected to be instant impact. The draft functionally did nothing to restock the pool for two areas of need: Safety and OLine, and the limited CAP space won't help finding productive vets. (I know there's a number of OLine vets in the wings, but after Bahk, Jenkins, Nijman, Myers, Tom, and Runyan; the rest are barely NFL camp fodder IMO.)
You can't fix everything in one shot.
