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.

Henderson replacing the Bouye last year?  I'm pretty confident he can do that.  I wanted to keep Bouye but I also didn't think we would get Okudah or Henderson.  Hendon got better and better last year so as long as he don't decline I feel good about the corners.  Dareus didn't play most of the year last year an Campbell is the only big loss but he wasn't the pass rusher he was last year as the few years before. Our run D was where our real weakness was and I feel we should be much better there .  I don't think it can even really be argued that our LBs shouldn't be much better with a tacling machine in the middle and Jack at his best position.  Chaisson is the wild card as well, hard to say what he will do but I think decent depth in passing downs at the very least
