I think if Bortles becomes an above average player that probably counts for way more. Let's go with 10 including Bortles.

 

Let's say:

 

3 players from 2013 make the leap

- Joekel was below

- Cyprien was slightly below

- McCray was very close but let's call him average

 

3 from 2014 do it

- Bortles

- 2 of the following: Lee, Colvin and Bowanko (ARob was close but he missed a good portion of the year, so let's include him)

- Telvin was arguably already above average and Linder certainly was so we can't count them towards the list

 

2 from the 2015 draft do it

 

2-3 free agent signings do it

 

All that combined won't be a Super Bowl contender but it shows you how quickly things can come together. Lots has to go right, but it's not impossible.
