Which is most important to upgrade so that we can be successful next season?

Which is more important to upgrade in your opinion? We all know we have many holes including nickle CB and possibly both safety positions, but the two most important areas to improve are O line and D line. We will not be able to fix both in one offseason with the cap and draft picks available.... so which one do you feel is most important to focus on? 

O line:

-As of right now we will start Kalil and Moton if Williams cannot be re signed after “testing the market.”

-Larsen at center who is solid but nothing spectacular in a very important role.

-Van Roten ranked the #48 OG by PFF which was average. We can upgrade but he played every snap and was solid. 

D Line:

-Addison is solid and should start.

-KK Short and Poe will start due to contracts no matter how much everyone complains.

-we have no other options currently at DE unless Pep decides to play one more year and then he would be in a pass rush role only not starting.

Offensive line

Draft the best offensive lineman available in round 1. Regardless of position. Then trade up in the 2nd round and and take the best offensive lineman available. We have to get serious about fixing the offensive line. It was to be our main priority by a long shot. Every QB that played for us got hurt behind our line. Look at what the Colts did. Their offensive line was horrible and it got Luck killed. They addressed it and have Luck one of the best lines in the NFL and he is playing at an MVP level. I would love to see what Cam could do behind a top 5 offensive line.

DE, assuming we do not need a qb.  Addison will be 32--Johnson hit the wall there--both carried more weight than their frame was probably comfortable carrying to play 4-3 DE.  Tough on the joints and quickness fades faster. 

We need 2 DEs.

We need C, DT, S, Nickel, T (unless you think Moton will sprout LT legs and arms over the winter), WR #4, and maybe backup QB.

DE is in code red.  When was the last good DE drafted/signed?  I don't count Hardy--he cra--Charles Johnson?  Ealy?  Haynes?  Norwood?  Alexander?  Brown? 

We cannot miss.

Defensive End and Offensive Tackle.  

Theyre both equally as important.  Cam has been getting punished in the pocket and accumulating bad shoulder injuries,  we need to protect him better. Its just a bad year to address it because we have 16th pick and not much cap space,  along with a free agent class of lineman that looks pretty pitiful.  

DE has also been a huge need over the last several years.  Our pass rush was horrible this year and we need to get much younger and faster on the dline.

DL and edge in specific. Our DT were still at least average this year just not dominant like we’ve had in the past from the interior. DE was absolutely atrocious and is the position we need to upgrade the most.
