If you look at the current roster situation, excluding the draft - we are only getting better...
Offense (10 returning starters)
QB - Allen - better with Age
RB - Singletary - better with Age
WR1 - Diggs (new) - massive upgrade vs platoon
WR2 - Brown - same as last year
WR3 - Beasley - same as last year
TE - Knox - better with Age
LT - Dawkins - same as last year
LG - Spain - same as last year
C - Morse - same as last year
RG - Feliciano - same as last year
RT - Ford/Nsekhe - better with Age/same as last year
O-line as a whole should improve due to year over year cohesiveness
Defense (9/10 returning starters - pending the package)
DE - Hughes - may lose a step this year
DT - Oliver - better with Age (will also be returning Harrison Philips who should also be better being healthy and older)
DT - Lotulelei - same as last year
DE - Addison - Should be a slight upgrade/wash vs. Lawson/Murphy
LB - Edwards - Better with Age
LB - Milano - Better with Age
LB - Klein - wash vs. Alexander (won't be on the field more than 50% of the snaps)
CB - White - Entering Prime
CB - Wallace/Norman - Better with Age/Potential upgrade
NCB - Johnson/Neal - Both better with Age
S - Poyer - same as last year
S - Hyde - same as last year
All and all - we are only getting better and more mature. Our depth is also a lot deeper. We are getting to the point where we are pretty solid all around and can make a deep run. ... and we still have the draft to go.
