Last year we won 6 games with a rookie. This great he will be better and so will our defense.  I see us finish adding 7-10 wins.

I'm not sure this year especially with the defense.  Let me say this though, I think talent wise the defense is much better than it was 3 weeks ago.  I also think we have three premium young guys and a really good Inside Linebacker in Joe Scho.  The thing I worry about in relying on Chaisson, Henderson, Hamilton is that without a full training camp, without the installs in mini camps, we are going to finish worse than our talent level would suggest.  I said this to one of my Panthers fans as well.  I think the Panthers also drafted well and restocked their D.  But I think because of the current social situation with Covid, these teams will finish on defense worse than their talent level suggest.  So with that, I think the team is in good position for Lawrence, UNLESS, the Patriots are trying to get the #1 which I doubt.
