What's Left to Improve on Georgia Football Roster?

In this story:
Early national signing day officially came to end after Wednesday and Georgia had another successful day on the trail. The Bulldogs managed to sign all 26 players that went into the day committed to the program, and on top of that, and they ended it all by flipping five-star prospect KJ Bolden from FSU. It's yet another class that is littered with talent on both sides of the ball, but Georgia is likely not done making additions to the roster, so what is left to improve for the Bulldogs?
Georgia has already one wide receiver from the transfer portal as London Humphreys left Vanderbilt and is now headed to play for the Bulldogs. Based on how Georgia has remained active in the transfer portal recruiting hunt, it would appear that Humphreys is not the only player they will add to the roster this offseason.
As soon as former Florida running back Trevor Etienne hit the portal, Georgia was immediately linked as the leader of the pack. Nothing has been made official yet but it seems like the Bulldogs are likely to lose both Kendall Milton and Daijun Edwards to the NFL draft this offseason, so adding Etienne would provide some immediate depth and contribution on the roster.
It also seems like there is potential for Georgia to land another wide receiver out of the portal. Former Miami Hurricane Colbie Young entered his name into the portal and recently started to gain predictions for him to pick the Bulldogs. He visited Athens not too long ago and also made the trip up to Penn State. Georgia has lost several wide receivers to the transfer portal and will likely lose some more to the draft, so adding an experienced receiver like Young wouldn't hurt.
Former USC wide receiver Michael Jackson III and former Michigan State wide receiver Jaron Glover also took visits to Georgia recently, so those are two more names that fans might want to keep their eye on throughout this process.
Another position to keep an eye on for Georgia to add another player into the mix for is at quarterback. Starting quarterback Carson Beck recently announced that he would be returning for the 2024 season, so this wouldn't be Georgia looking for an immediate starter but more to add a fourth body into the room. Head coach Kirby Smart mentioned during his press conference on Wednesday that they like to have four scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, and even with the addition of Ryan Puglisi that would put the Bulldogs at only three.
It's not just the offensive side of the ball though that Georgia is potentially looking to add to from the portal. The Bulldogs have also been looking into potentially adding another player to the defensive line depth chart. Right now it seems like former South Carolina Gamecock Xzavier McLeod could be the player that takes the spot.
This offseason very well could be the most active Georgia has ever been in the transfer portal, but when you lose as many players as the Bulldogs have to the NFL draft over the last few years, eventually you have to build the depth back up. Especially with the college football playoff expanding to 12 teams next season and the tough schedule Georgia will have to face during the 2024 season.
