but...

This organization under DC's hand has proven to build nothing.  In re-watching the 2017 run (thanks free gamerewind), it was a fluke season with a very poor offense because the QB was inconsistent and was absolutely untrusted to do much until they had no other option.  The plan was to jump start with defense to allow us to have the time needed to develop the offensive side of the ball.

Well...

I'm still waiting for the offense to be addressed.  We have some occasional blips of good choices but they haven't gone all in on solving anything.  We lucked in to a smart and exciting guy who has potential but will we do the Jaguar thing and surround him with failure?

I really hope we see signs of an anything but a flat line when it comes to development.  Not only that, with the COVID crude this year, what is that going to do to teams that need to develop rookies or second year players?  Minshew is already on his second OC and now he can't work with them.

Obviously I agree with your first paragraph.

Agree to a degree with the second sentiment.

I don't necessarily see 2017 as a fluke-at least not for the reasons you describe.  Ofensively, the team wasn't bad that year, even though Bortles was inconsistent.  Though I think the defense was indeed quite talented, I think the aberration came due to the state of the rest of the division.

While I am convinced we won't fill every need this draft, I still think there is plenty of talent available that can help Minshew a great deal.

I can not agree more completely with your closing statement, though I think Gruden is an upgrade as an OC.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
