Salary cap seems good but the number of draft picks look phenomenal!

Yes we'll have cap room to add some players, likely 1yr deals, but the draft is where we'll add the majority of our new players IMO, being almost $45M over the projected $256M cap in 2024 isn't great, but we'll likely carryover $35M or more, redo Deebo saving $15.8M, redo Gregory saving $10.096M, we should have some cap room, Idk if we'll be big spenders in FA next year, we were supposed to sit it out this year according to Lynch, but Hargrave was too good to pass up on, so maybe we do sign someone to a nice sized deal, between what Ward got($13.5M a yr) to Hargrave($21M), likely lower end.
Looking at how we are playing right now, I don't see a need for a big fish free agent. unless things change and someone retires we are set with the current roster and next years draft picks.
We can almost move up and down the draft board at will with all those draft picks.
Agreed, we don't need to sign a big name FA next year, only if Gregory doesn't work out, if he does, no way we should make a splash, but you know this place, and our fanbase, they want splashy moves every year. I'd also stand pat, then use our picks to move up & down, get the players we want. If we could get a Surtain in trade by the deadline, I'd be ecstatic, he's cheap in 2024, has a 5th yr in 2025, which isn't too expensive, I think, according to OTC, it'll be $16.803M, easy to fit in 2025, plus he'd be extended in 2025, low 2025-2027 cap numbers. But I don't think we necessarily need another CB, Lenoir has been good, but I won't be mad if they get Surtain.
