Which side of the ball do you think we address more in the draft?

Agree, that would be my philosophy too. 5 first rounders on that DLine because Kyle got Bourne, Breida, Brunskill Dwelley, Mullens etc.. I mean how many low round offensive picks and undrafted offensive picks have been just dang good in Kyle's system. I'm just totally amazed at his ability to spot offensive diamonds in the undrafted free agents class. Now he's getting low and undrafteds on the defensive side too - Dre Greenlaw, Azeez, Demontre Moore, and Valoaga -

the other good thing about that philosophy is, "IF" Saleh ended up leaving for a HC job next year or whenever. The next DC, no matter who it is will have loads of elite talent to play with while we still have KS for the offense.

o line and a new wide out

For me, Edge rusher first, Wide out second, and OLine 3rd. Skule, Brunskill and Coleman will be good depth next year, and they are already on the team. Add in a 4th, or 5th rounder for OLine would be where I'd go. NY85 has said WR is a deep class, so we can probably trade down that first and get a 2nd and a 3rd for it and go for 2nd round raw pure pass rusher type like a Dee Ford to back up Ford and Bosa, and then a 3rd rounder in the mould of perhaps a speed demon like Goodwin with maybe better hands.

Trading down is so huge in my opinion
Weird. No. What cc said. Oline oline and more oline. Maybe a receiver.
OL first...another receiver unless Hurd and Taylor get healthy & can contribute. Maybe someone to replace Pettis...his Niner future surely seems dubious. A CB...can never have too many good ones.
