Quote:If you view it optimistically? No, there's not a lot of holes. But realistically?

 

QB - Bortles is still a question mark, despite the promise

RB - Unproven rookie RB

WR - 3 2nd year WR and a rookie WR

TE - Solid starter/depth with Thomas/Lewis

LT - Luke is a ?, but promising with increased strength

LG - Beadles is OK, plus depth with Cann possibly even pushing him

C - Good possibility/depth

RG - Linder should be good

RT - Pernell is very much a question mark, never having started a full season

 

DE - Clemons is 34, Branch coming off groin surgery

DT - Marks is coming off ACL, Hood was underwhelming, and backup is a 6th round "steal" in Bennett.

DT - Miller is coming off injury, but should be fine with Jones behind him. Not great, but OK

DE - Odrick should be an upgrade over Red, and we retained Tyson. So another oK position.

 

LB - Solid starters, but depth is questionable.

FS - Brown has limited starts, Evans is a SS, and Sample is inexperienced at FS.

CB - Good starters and depth.

 

Truthfully, we have more "promise" than "production" filling our "needs"

This is a sensible take and I can't disagree too much with this.

 

I still get the sense this roster is much better now than it was, and as such, there are no glaring holes at this point.

 

Yes, there is more promise than production at this stage, but I think with a year's experience for the 3 WRs and Bortles and better depth and talent along the OL, I see improvement as almost inevitable in the offense.

 

I think while there may not yet be all stars at every position, I don't think at this stage there are any cringe inducing spots on the roster.  I think THAT is where I am coming from.
