Unless the front 4 really excel and take over some games, we should be a bottom 3 team again this year.
Outside of chase young, what impact player have we added that will make this 3-13 team a 6-10 team?

Normally I agree with you but let me play devil's advocate here.
Starting LT not on the roster yet - best case scenario Charles wins the job outright or learns quickly enough Geron? or whoever fill-in we got can hold it down the first half of the year.
Secondary not upgraded - this might be one of those things where an upgraded pass rush masks secondary deficiencies. Also hopefully our young DB's will progress enough, after all this year should be about building the roster anyways.
LG not live up to Flowers - Wes Martin looked decent filling in for Scherff last year, hopefully he seizes the opportunity and runs with it.
New coaches - =/= They just need time.
Young qb needs development - Yes, not working out with his guys on offense will hurt this offseason. Still, even if we get off to a slow start I don't see Haskins not working as hard as possible to prove himself.
