My final thoughts on each position going into draft:
QB - No thank you. If there is some high potential QB in the 4th or something, fine.
RB - No, unless you are getting Bijan Robinson (which they aren't going to be in position to do). Bijan Robinson can be an all-down stud and would really improve this team. It would move Cook into more of a utility role, which is fine. My memory of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara was that they were godo at the same time. But outside of him, I'd rather just roll with Cook.
TE - Sure! I'd take another TE...as long as Dorsey can figure out how to use both Knox and him
WR - This scares me a little bit. We are 5 deep with good WRs. I'd love to add another #1 quality WR, I think it would be huge. But I just don't think any of the rookie WRs are going to walk in and play opposite Diggs and play great. I'd rather draft a high potential WR in the 3rd or so and let him develop as our #6 for this year.
IOL - I think we are set this year. I think Bates/Morse/McGovern with Edwards/Boettger as depth is actually pretty solid. But I won't complain at all if we take one early. You can never have too much talent on the lines.
OT - I think we are in decent shape here too. But I think adding a RT would really bolster the group (and I like spencer brown).
D-Line - I am always okay with this. D-Line can change the game and is extremely important. If there was an edge rusher that could come in and get to the QB, great. If there is a DT that can get to the QB, great.
LB - This would annoy me. You already have milano as a core piece. How many core pieces do you need to make your defense function? IF you need a 1st round investment at every spot, then what good is your scheme?
CB - This would also annoy me. You are not only deep at this position, but you have a knack for drafting guys late that excel. Go get a CB late in the draft and move on
S - The third position that would annoy me. You have Poyer and Hyde. Next year you can transition to Benford/Hamlin and Rapp. The safety FA market was a joke this year. This is not a position to invest a big resource into unless you are getting something special.
So for the first two rounds, I'd love a TE, OT, or Bijan Robinson (or trade for an established WR). I'd like a WR, OG, DE, DT. And I'd be annoyed at a LB, CB, S
Last year they "reportedly" only met with 2 CBs and 8 TEs. They drafted two CBs and no TEs... They also met with 5 guards and drafted none. The correlation between predraft meetings and drafted players is always made after the draft, we almost never have the full list predraft.

Good post but it contradicts what I have read before. They absolutely met with Elam
