Seems like a pretty fair write-up to me. We’ve made some moves, sure... but we lost quite few good players from a very average 2017 team. I know we had a lot of injuries last year, but i honestly can’t say i think we’d have been that much better if we hadn’t. Talent wise, i think we’ve taken several steps back from where back in 2016. As a fan, I’m always hopeful, but it’s going to take a miraculous draft for us to be any better than 9-7.

- Really? We wouldn't have won at the very least 3 more games if our defense had stayed as effective as it was when Allen, Ioannidis and Foster all were healthy, and our Oline had stayed Williams, Lauvao, Long, Scherff, Moses instead of TJ Clemmings, Arie Kouandjio, Tony F'in Bergstrom, Tyler Catalina and Moses-on-one-leg ?



- As for the OTC review, I think it's too early to judge.

+
Bringing AS was the best possible solution to get out of our QB mess IMO.
Signing Brown and Foster was necessary and was done at fair prices.
Richardson is a nice addition on a reasonable contract.

-
Not crazy high on the Scandrick deal (but we had to bring in someone).
Losing Fuller s*cks (but I think it's safe to say it pretty much was the only way to get Smith)
Wished we kept Spencer Long and Trent Murphy (but not at 7M/y each, they both should have been extended earlier)

Come September, our offseason could be anything from an A if we sign Hankins, trade down, draft Payne, a baller LG, a stud RB and a promising CB to a D if we sign nobody else and have a shitty draft...
