Its pretty grim in my eyes. The Ds front 7 needs a complele retooling. The CB position is thin, especially if Gaines goes elsewhere. Almost everyone agrees on a franchise QB. The OL has holes and needs upgraded. WR could become thin again. Mathews could go in free agency and KB is on his 5th year contract in 18. so what happens if he goes in 22 more games. Would leave Zay and Holmes. The rbs are Shady and nobodys.
Yeah im excited about the picks in the future. But boy Beane has to hit on a lot them. Ive seen too may picks in round 1-3 goes to the likes of Maybin, McCargo, Ragland, Troup. Yeah there's a new GM and scouts. Personally I think this rebuild is 2 things at once, getting the extra picks and better managing the cap down the line. Two things I dont think a guy like Whaley was very good at.
