Everyone and their mother will hate this, but so does Donovan Smith.

That would be amazing. I'm going to go ahead and dream the dream.

Bringing on a DE means you're likely benching FAU so your unnamed veteran can play 15 snaps a game, which isn't necessary given that he's playing acceptably. We have the fifth-highest pressure rate in the NFL.
If they're making a serious acquisition, it's got to be an offensive skill position or CB. Those are the last remaining spots on this roster where there are a lot of snaps to fill and minimally talented guys to bench.
Edit: Left tackle as well.
Omenihu is coming back from an ACL, which from all accounts has been slow healing. I really don't expect him to be anything near 100% this year even though he likely plays.
Danna has a pec injury and we know what happened with Thuney last year.
We've gotten nothing from Cameron Thomas so far.
Depth is a bit of a concern right now. I'd take a pinch hitter that can go get the QB on 3rd downs especially given we're what, 4th-lowest in sacks?
