To me the teams biggest flaw was injuries to the Oline, it was a totally different team when Braden Smith missed games. I’d say the oldest most beatup position on the roster is Oline but CB is definitely a glaring weakness however that can be covered up with good Dline play

Nelson was 6th overall...so I get your point there. Bowers at 15th overall is a different story, even as a TE. But you only take a TE that high if you are reasonably certain that he will be a perennial All-Pro.
