Offseason evaluation

#4

They needed an upgrade at QB. Foles was the best available player in the market and we had to make a move. Whether it pans out or not remains to be seen. But they deserve credit for going after him. Hopefully he's the guy for years to come. 

They needed a RT. They stole one potentially with the 35th overall selection in Jawaan Taylor. I like it. 

They needed a receiving type TE in order for this system to get moving and for Foles and Flip to gameplan. Oliver with the 69th pick may be the answer to that part of the offense. 

They needed more depth at RB. They addressed it by taking that "small school" guy from Temple in the 5th RD. Was hoping for a guy like Justice Hill or Miles Sanders instead but this kid might be alright. Remains to be seen. 

All in all. They did enough to patch up some holes that were pretty damn glaring and obvious to the local and national pundits. And of course us folks in the fanbase. They just have to figure out a way to make it all work. Stay healthy. Limit mistakes, etc. I don't expect a 2017 type season where the defense destroys weak offenses and feasts on turnover after turnover after turnover. But I do expect a much more balanced football team with the additions they've made on the offensive side of the football which in turn should allow the defense to breath a little bit more. 

I applaud them for taking Allen and not reaching for a need and letting that value slip right through their hands. You cannot [BLEEP] up that selection. And if Quincy Williams ends up being a better version of Telvin Smith or a solid rotational player by 2020? I can live with them dropping a 98th overall selection on a truly small school prospect. But I still feel fairly good about what they've done on offense. I think this is a 6 - 10 squad at the minimum with a few injuries here and there. And they're potentially a 9 - 7 club if everything runs perfectly. Which gives them a shot at the play-offs. 

Somewhere in between 6 - 9 wins is fair this season. At least to me it is.
