1) Find an offensive lineman who is just as good of a run blocker (or better) as he is in pass pro for RG.
2) If we aren't looking to use Higbee as potential trade bait next year, then get us a quality later round blocking TE.
3) We are losing Sony Michel to free agency and Darrell Henderson is entering his 'contract' year with the Rams now, so draft a replacement and perhaps look to a UDFA RB to compete with Funk.

If you go by PFF ratings for tackles in 2021; Whitworth was #1 pass blocking tackle, #25 run blocking. #4 overall tackle.

Havenstein was #21 pass blocking, #11 run blocking, #9 overall.

(y)

Havs had consistently been one of, if not THE best blocking RTs in the league except for the season he was injured. A dropoff for BOTH OTs is gonna hurt. Higbee’s injury and Woods being out vs some very good playoff teams had to matter.

Re-watching some games from last season, I don’t think Michel and Henderson have received enough credit for their contributions when called upon. It looked like Akers dropped off after his first game and Michel went unused.

No lack of talent in this years draft for RB. Even in the later rounds IMO.
