I may deserve some criticism, but Sunday night makes me feel more excitement for possibilities next year as opposed to a deep playoff run this year.... Maybe I'm just trying to not re-live the Rams beat down.
The additions of Diggs and Clowney and Hollister and Gordan (and the contract situations of 3 of them anyway) seem like it gives the FO a lot more flexibility than recent years. Maybe we can't keep them all, but having the choice before the draft seems like a lot better position than fishing for available FAs after the draft. It seems like, realistically, the FO could keep the talent we have unless better options present. Add in rookies contributing more than years past (I think, right? DK, Blair, Haynes, Amadi... or is it my imagination?) and Sophomore starters/solid back-ups, is it me or are we set up much better than years past? I guess I feel compelled to add in the realization that the LB group might need a re-charge, but there is talent on the roster waiting for playtime already, right? I think I remember that JS has 2x the picks this year compared to last too.
I'm curious of others' opinions (with more draft savvy than I). Specific to position groups, draft capital, cap restrictions am I crazy to think that this could be a big draft and to expect to see a lot of good young players with cheap contracts on the field next year?
