I'd love to get your feedback on what moves I should make. This will be my first year contending coming out of a two year rebuild.

From my perspective, my main need is RB. I plan to attack RB during the draft, but would also like to try and bundle a couple/few 24 seconds and maybe a future 2nd to get a RB and a 25 1st, knowing the 2025 class is supposed to be heavy on RB.

Thank you in advance!

Without knowing other rosters in your league, I think you’re in pretty good shape. Rb is an obvious need, but when you only need to start 2 and have 4 flex spots, I don’t care much about position and just want to be playing good players. I think you’re two above average starters from a really good team. I would try and move a qb, either arich or Lawrence depending on preference, and try and get an aging contributor, maybe Evans or Keenan Allen. I would shoot for a decent rb, maybe Monty, Javonte and/or Pollard depending on price/other teams needs/goals for a few seconds and go from there. Just a few ideas, upgrading te would be nice but I don’t think it’s a necessity. Good luck!

I think it goes without saying that you should build around your young elite WRs in ARSB, Wilson, Harrison, & Higgins.

I would really look to convert Addison & JSN into equivalent value young RBs - Achane / Kyren / Walker / Cook. I wouldn't overpay too much since it's only a start 2 RB (plus a bunch of flex), but you should be able to back-fill some young WR depth with your 1.11 / 2.01 / 2.03 / 2.04 picks considering the strong WR depth in this draft class - and I doubt you can find equivalent value contributors at the RB position in this draft class.

I would also look to package Schultz + one of those late 1sts / early 2nds to try and upgrade into the Andrews / Kittle / Hock / Pitts tier to offer you additional upside at the position.
