Here's my assessment:



On offense, RB is the only question mark thanks to those DC hoodlums. That said, Gibson, McKissic, and Williams are more than capable of handling the load. Just depends on if AG puts the ball on the ground or not.



QB, WR, OL, TE - all good.



We are in such a better place at QB this year than last. Wentz is a major upgrade, whether people want to believe that or not. He's had two not-so-great years - his rookie year, and 2020 on a bad Philly team (it's hard to be a good QB when you are sacked 50 times in 12 games) Their O-line was absolutely terrible. Other than that it's been like 27-33 TDs / 7 INTs per year.

On defense, literally the only weak link I see (and I'm not even sure it is yet) is the LB group. Holcomb in the middle, and Davis in year two and in his more natural position may be the ticket. We won't know for a couple weeks.



CB, S, DL, DE - all good



We're deep in the secondary in my opinion, especially at safety, and a couple of those safeties can also play CB in a pinch.



D line should be one of the best in the league. DE, especially once Young comes back should be good.

I think if the O-line stays healthy and is as good as it has been the last couple years, there's no reason this team can't put up 25+ points per game. Doing that and staying on the field more will only help the defense. This is at least a 10 win team - if they stay relatively healthy.

A part from the LB squad I agree with everything you said. This is why I kinda go bonkers on Bostic, cuz I think they did a good job overall this offseason, but now on top of having no possibility to play a decent 4-3 if we need to, we have zero depth.
But hey, maybe Holcomb and Davis can do the job and if they don't get injured, and the nickel works 95% of the time, we don't have to see Bostic cover that much...

Anyway, we'll see, I don't think it's all doom and gloom, we have a talented roster. Just hope that self inflected Achilles heel doesn't receive any well shot arrow.
