Quote:This draft doesn't change my prediction of 5 or 6 wins...With some serious luck maybe hitting 7...mainly because historically draft classes don't come in and make major impacts on the win/loss column.

I had 'predicted' not more than 6 wins myself, and while I think we had a pretty good draft it doesn't change my outlook significantly. Vegas had made a 'pre-draft' prediction of 5.5 wins; so I"m guessing that, given that we've had two seasons now of what many have considered the best draft picks in the NFL, that will change to 6. But so much of what will happen depends on factors that none of us can predict; like how soon can Marks come back from his injury and will he still be able to perform at the same level? issues like that. Some posters on here have said that it's unlikely that Marks will be able to come back with the same degree of impact he had given his age and weight. I consider this reasoning logical and can't fault it... I just hope that it nevertheless turns out to be wrong.
