Two seconds or even a high two and a three is wishful thinking most likely.
The most obvious examples of compensation would be us moving up to draft Josh Garnett for a 2, 4, and 6 (got a 7th back) and us moving moving up for Rueben Foster for a 2 and a 4
See Seattle's draft last year. That should be our model. I want to add a player at every position group through the draft + signing of UDFAs that actually make the team next year.
Not sure that we have that many holes. Recent drafts have been strong and deep and UDFA work has been amazing. The only guy not still on the roster was lost, not because we didn't want him but because we needed to jiggle roster spots. So I go for just a few players and top it up with a couple of FA signings.
Save for QB, we potentially could. I might have overstated the every position group thing, but on offense, another back is needed. I expect Coleman to be gone and Breida hasnt shown he can go the season healthy. WR need is obvious. Should look at a TE/FB to back up Juice/play special teams. Perhaps we can go UDFA there. I'd like a guard that could compete for a starting spot. At tackle, we'll see. Probably are okay for a year with Staley, Brunskill,Skule, McGlinchey, and Shon Coleman.
On defense, definitely another corner, we will need a safety (competition and just in case we don't resign Ward or he is hurt), probably another LB, definitely another DE. That's 8 already. We also have guys that rookies should be able to beat out.
