Havenstein isn't going anywhere in 2023. Neither is Allen, Shelton, Jackson, Bruss and likely Noteboom. But that also doesn't mean their starting five and 6th man are that group. I'm a big believer that one notable OL upgrade can have a ripple effect on the entire line (see Timmerman in 1999, Whitworth in 2017, etc.).
I would agree with this sentiment.
I think that it also bears mentioning that, over the past couple of years, the organization has seemed pretty enamored with drafting the next Darren Waller (i.e. TE/WR hybrid) to create mismatches in the passing game. Seemingly forgetting the value that (primarily) blocking TE's like Johnny Mundt bring to the table in the run game.
