Success

I'd disagree. In some ways, we weren't ANYONE 'away' last year. If Cooks hangs onto that ball another half second, or if we don't call an actual play at the end of the 1st half and just kneel the ball, we probably get to the SB - and I'd give us a solid chance of winning that game if we made it, unlike the frauds who did face Seattle.

I've gone from some dismay about the Denver loss and the ensuing "bad optics" w/ how they fired McD (though I'm glad we moved on) and that bad presser, to being as excited about an upcoming season as I have been in a long while. I think Beane has done an excellent job of filling holes this offseason with very good players. Not superstars - but upgrades at WR, S, CB and edge. Combined w/ the draft, AND all of the guys coming back from injury (we don't know how good some of those can be yet, but odds dictate that some will pan out well), and this could be our best roster in years.

I'll tell ya - w/ Hoecht and some of the draft picks who got injured back, and an early round LB, and a new DC - we might actually have a formidable D this season.

Never hated him - and he has done a fantastic job this offseason filling holes w/ quality players, on a limited budget. I'd even nominate this as his best offseason yet (can't really be judged until we see the results, but I'm borderline shocked w/ how much we've been able to do).

Beane gets high marks from me for this FA period. Smart, frugal signings - filling quite a few needs.

He made some BIG plays - but also looked lost at times. But I agree - he'd be a nice rotational piece to add. He loved being a Bill, which always earns some points w/ me.

Wow - didn't think the safety room would be all set pre-draft. Maybe get some depth in the later rounds - but w/ this acquisition & Chubb, they're really free to devote early rounds to LB, WR & OL.

A 1st rounder it is.

I wouldn't mind. I love going into draft day without any huge needs.

We were pretty injured this past season - and we were still a Cooks catch away from probably at least making the SB. And I think we've improved w/ the FA additions, even w/ some of the players we've lost.

The money is actually kind of on the lower side now compared to contracts lesser receivers are getting. We're gonna love Moore. We haven't had a receiver like him in years - he'll be great w/ Allen. Tough, durable, great hands, great YAC, gets separation.

This isn't Bosa or Miller. Those are lazy comparisons.

Rousseau was coming on strong at the end last year, Hoecht is returning, Oliver is returning, and now w/ Chubb - the front side of our D might be alright.

This isn't something I was expecting - it's a very good pickup. When healthy, he's a great player. I'd rather this than trading draft capital for Crosby.

The 1st few games of his rookie season, he made some impact plays - I remember being very excited about what he could contribute. Feels like he's been injured most of the time since then, but if he can come back healthy he might surprise everyone.
