Now comes where Morgan needs to earn his paycheck.

The first wave of free agency is about over.  When we hit the 2nd week and beyond is where you sign quality veterans at a good price.   If we could find a couple of these players, we will be able to be 100% BPA when the draft comes around.

No, he needs to earn his paycheck in the draft.

No matter how good you are in Free Agency, you can't be a sustainable and SB contending team without drafting well, and that goes beyond the 1st round.

Of course, you build through the draft, but you don't reach for players when you have most of you issues addressed in free agency.  

When you go BPA, you should get quality players every time.

He had a great draft last year.

That is the key--however, as it looks right now, we have to take LT. That could change, and I am sure Morgan is working on it.

I love our last draft and hopefully some of them step up even more in 2026. I am looking forward to see how Cam Jackson improves.  Seems he did ok in his limited time at the end of the season.

You might be right, but as you said I am sure Morgan is working hard on LT.
