Progress, no Playoffs...yet.

11 draft picks will better the team in the long term, but rarely will rookies make a large impact in year 1.

On offense... Henne is a Band-Aid, and unfortunately the starting QB going into the new year. The WR corps is one of the worst groups in the league. The OL will get an upgrade with Beadles and Joeckel returning, but 2 interior positions are void of quality talent.

On defense... Bryant is an upgrade over Alualu, and Clemons should be an upgrade over Babin. Hood and Watson are backup guys today, with possible upside in play. With a year more of experience in the young secondary, I think the unit will show improvement even without further personnel additions. All together, there are enough mild improvements that should give us a better defense this next year.

I see 7-8 wins possible this year, with the current changes.
