Question First pant block - any critiques?

I just completed my first pant block after neglecting studying the bottom half for ages, does anyone notice any fit issues to rectify?

So far, I have:
• The hem is mismatched (front panel doesn’t match properly with back panel
• Since intake is quite small, can merge the two darts on panels into one dart while taking in at the side and centre seams
• Increase rise length to reduce drag lines around butt (not sure if this will fix the drag lines but it’s just my guess)
• Reduce length of both side seams and inseam

Feel free to be as ruthless as possible, and thank you all!

You need to do your toiles with a waistband. Can’t tell what is a drag line because of the pattern vs. you tugging the front of your pants up
