So while Frank isn't a "problem", his production is going to drop off due to his age, and it's not going to be long before that happens. As a team, it's better to start preparing for that to happen than to wait until it does and then have no option or limited options.

That said, you don't need to spend a top 5 draft pick to address it. They can address it via free agency or another round in the draft possibly, but they do need to start addressing it
To be fair, for him to get these yards with our offensive scheme is quite admirable.
