The LOS has been built, Washington enjoys the 6th best offensive line in the league. Can they get better, sure, but that could happen by not making any changes at all on the line... just adding another WR1. (Upgraded QB is a given)

On defense we are about to lose 3 DT’s within 2 years. Quicker if we trade for the next savior qb

And we are dropping a 5x. /2x all pro OG

DT's are the most easily replaceable position on that side of the ball. I don't like the prospect of losing BS, but hey that happens, we move on.

We do move on and hence why I said you build the LOS

That has been done! Take a look at the date that I originally posted this. It was two years ago, now we have the 6th rated O-line in the business. Nothing to build.

Not so fast Sty. At times we look like a crap shoot on both sides of the ball. The trenches are definitely incomplete at the moment. Besides, TH's elusiveness certainly had something to do with our rating. My guess is that plummets this year with Scherff gone and a new QB.

There's no such thing as a perfect offensive line, the very best of them look like crap from time to time. The metric in measuring this has established ours as the 6th best. I have already noted two ways in which they can improve without changing a thing on the current line.

My mantra has always been, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade!!

As for the defensive side of the ball, without changes they will be an improved bunch in 2023 just based on the fact that they won't be facing that gauntlet of QB's from a year ago.

Maybe not so much if y'all get a QB that has a legit NFL arm, can read defenses and has a sense of timing. Or traits that TH too often seemed to lack.
