The offense is pretty much the same when we won 6 games and should of been 7 if LF could of another inch.  Other then the addition of Shenault ( yes 2nd round rookie, which good  rookie WRs are making an impact immediately every year now)and Eifert who is one of the better TEs in the league when healthy which he was all last year, Oshaughn will be healthy, and Oliver is healthy and entering his 2nd year.  RG is my only real concern but Minshew dealt with it last year and played good so not a deal breaker

These are all best case scenarios. You’re relying on a rookie corner to replace Bouye. No one can replace Campbell or Dareus this season with even close to the same production.

The offense was 26th in the league and now you’re relying on Eifert?! So offense stays the same.... defense MAYBE gets better after losing all-pros/pro bowl players at 3 positions.

No one knows what will happen but as of now, it doesn’t look very good at all. 

4-5 wins looks to be in the immediate future.

Our 2020 defense should definitely be an improvement over the defense we had for most of 2019.  

Ramsey was gone for most of the season and Dareus was gone maybe more than half the season as I recall.  So the team that went 6-10 didn't have those players for most of the season anyway.  

In addition, from reports, Bouye wasn't the player in 2019 that he was in 2017.  

We've improved the MLB position and the WLB position.  We've added a run stuffing NT.  Our first 2 draft picks were the consensus 2nd best CB in the draft and the consensus 2nd best pass rusher/OLB.

As for the offense, we had no literally no TE for much of 2019, but for 2020 we will have at least 2- Eifert and Oliver, and 3 if O'Shaugnessy gets well.  

And what if Minshew takes that step forward for year 2?  

And what about our new OC?
