Ok, You are Dennis Allen

Good post.
Assumptions:
1. Equal win total of 2023 at a minimum, but make the playoffs and win a game or more.
2. It won't truly be a win now scenario, so it will be a foundation building/win now scenario.

Top 5 Things:

1. Hire an OC. There's no rush since the playoffs are still going on and the Senior bowl is 2 weeks away. The hire needs to be right, not fast. Assess the landscape of the playoffs and what teams made it and which ones are advancing. There were only 2 finesse teams and they played each other, KC and Miami so one had to advance to this week. The other might lose today. The offense will need to be modern, but physical with a running game that can travel and be effective in December and the playoffs. Decide on a team/offense identity.

2. Fix the offensive line. Have the talk with Ram, it's nice to hold onto an aging player, but if his body is failing him and he can't go 100% for a season (that should be every player going into the year), then it might be best to move on. It would be better to deal with it in the off-season than to have our RT go out week 12 in a playoff run for a known issue going into the season. Coach up Penning and get him on the field at RT, Guard or even DT. He needs to be on the field or on the way to being on the field. Have the new OC decide what he wants to do with OL scheme and go from there. It's too expensive to sign a LT in FA, but if Latt is truly on his way out, maybe get a LT for him since LT and shutdown CBs are two of the most important positions on the field. If one of the top LT is available in the draft within striking distance, do it, but not for a project.

3. Get a big body next to Bresee. Whatever Atlanta does, there should never be a game where we get manhandled by Atlanta. Draft Sweat out of UT or like another poster say, trade for Derrick Brown. Bresee is a monster and putting someone next to him that can keep him from getting double teamed would free him up to wreak havoc. Draft or sign another DE or two. If Turner can stay healthy, he's Cam's replacement, but get another guy as well. Find a sideline to sideline LB, someone who can run and hit. We need someone who can match up to Bijan. Draft or sign an enforcer on defense, someone who delivers those "Remember Me" shots.

4. Address the finesse WRs. The finesse WRs are watching the playoffs on TV. I saw growth and development out of ATP. Olave is as finesse as they come and Shaheed is smallish, but he's not finesse. He does get nicked up so that has to be planned for. We need to bring in a couple physical WRs. An everydown TE would also help, so if Bowers is there at 14, he needs to be the pick. He would be a gamechanger.

5. Make a decision on AK. He's obviously lost a step, everyone can see it and it was mentioned in the end of year press conference. Maybe have him shed some lbs and let him be primarily a receiving back with less carriers and less wear and tear, or move on since he just completed year 7 of a 3-6 year average career. Potentially move on from Williams. He didn't show much and bringing in a young guy to backup KM. Running the ball on teams breaks their will.
