How have your team needs changed from a year ago?

Usually spending a first or second round pick on a position, or signing a premium FA, will put a need to bed for a few years. That's less true of later picks and cheaper FA. That said, sometimes you get lucky with a third day pick of an unsung FA. On the other side, players age, get injured, finish contracts. 

So, how do your teams needs differ from last year? If it helps, here is the rookie thread from during the season.

We still need almost everything. We shored up LT with Mekhi Becton but that's about where it ends.

Chicago at this point looks like it needs a full rebuild... or a time machine.

The offense has twice as many black holes as it does quality players filling positions.

The defense is starting to show significant cracks, and is unlikely to hold itself together over the 3+ years it will take to fix the offense.

And we retained literally everyone who consistently failed in management (coaching and ownership) that led us to this place, including retaining the GM who traded up to get literally the only one of Mahomes/Watson/Trubisky that sucked, so he's going to picking our next QB as well, only this time he's super desperate to save his own job, so we're likely also about to be out of future picks.

Last season our biggest need was offensive tackles. That is ok for the next two years and our oline is intact for another season at least. 

Now we need a defense.

 

We need 1 starting dt, 2 de, 2 cb, 2 linebackers, 1 s.

We solved QB and LB, but totally ignored the OLine.  Can't see that happening again, especially the way Burrow's season ended.

Not much.  We're still waiting to see how FA turns out to determine where our biggest needs are.  Right now, our top 2 RBs (Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams) are FAs as is our #2 CB (Kevin King).
