I thought that the goal was to be competitive in most games until the end when we get beaten so that we can have a higher draft choice.
Yes, there are other goals. We want out team at the end of the year to be more experienced having developed players for 2025. I suspect this will be the case at QB, WR and even on the OL. And yes, Gibson is a major plus.

WE KNOW WHAT WE WILL NEED ON OFFENSE
3 OL's: LT, RT, C (maybe we will develop a backup or two), a top WR and
a backup QB.
a top draft pick

I don't see that our start indicates that we won't meet this year's goals.
The one great disappointment is the lack of discipline that has resulted in so many penalties.
