Bigger picture we still have the same problem we did when the season ended.  How many guys do we have top 10 at their position in the league?  Josh Allen (assuming not a one year wonder).  Maybe Etienne?  Maybe Engram?  A lot of solid players but very few elite difference makers.  And hoping Lawrence takes the next step but can the offensive line stay healthy?  Near dead last in the league last year in so many categories and only change is getting an average center.  Feels like we're relying on a number of solid but not great players to all stay healthy so the line can have some consistency while reaching their potential of being solid but not great.  But just a couple injuries away from having the same problems as last year.

I mean we are essentially running it back the same. Two 9-8 seasons in a row. O line is same except Morse, which is an upgrade. Downgraded CB from D Will to Darby. Upgraded Safety with Savage from Jenkins. Downgraded WR with Davis from Ridley. Wash at special teams, Duvernay=Agnew. Lost out on the kicker. Oh, and we lost a 3rd round pick. 

Offseason is a L imo.

We have Morse and a fresh, not injured Cleveland and I'm sure we will still address that in the draft. It also wasn't a downgrade at CB because Williams doesn't fit the defensive scheme like Darby does and Darby is great. Savage is an upgrade as mentioned. Davis isn't Ridley, but remember that Ridley single handedly helped cost us some games with TD drops.

The offseason was definitely a win. We can blame Baalke for not getting a deal done with Josh, but we don't know if his agent was even ready to work on one.
