If you take the current roster and add in the sorts of players the team is likely to get rummaging through other teams' castoffs, even under the sunniest of anticipations, what sort of roster are you looking at? To me, it looks like a team headed for a losing record and last place in the division. BO'B aside, I think the team will be worse this year than last, and I struggle to see how that is anything other than unacceptable. I know everybody is tired of hearing it, but this team needs a GM. Sometimes all the other teams are zagging for a reason, and overly-clever zigging is just plain dumb. The mishandling of the O-line is sheer dereliction, isn't it? If this is a multi-year rebuild, where's the progress? RB? TE? QB? OL? Can anyone argue there is a balanced allocation of resources, offense vs defense? When you have to keep 11 offensive linemen, stripping other groups of talent and potential in the hope that your O-line might (might) at some point rise to the level of mediocrity, what are you doing? Has the drafting been well done over the past several years? Have needs been anticipated? Have the pipeline and the bench held replacements for players you knew were coming to the end of their playing years? Maybe playing chess when the game is checkers isn't always all that d----d smart.
