The next head coach is inheriting a mess

I believe there’s some positives. You do have an owner and organization that will support a coach and give them time. Mrs B also isn’t a meddler.

The roster isn’t bad. There are good pieces here. A great draft or two and we could be stacked.

The division is up for grabs and no team is head and shoulders better. So the opportunity to compete for a division title right out of the gate is a possibility.

The fan base is patient and understanding

The only building blocks on defense that I see are Granderson, Bresee, Taylor, McKinstry and Werner. Jury is still out on a lot of the younger guys and odds don’t favor most of them panning out at a high level.

A number of guys are aging out, won’t be under contract, or have serious injury concerns on when they’ll be back and at what level.

OL might be a strength if they can ever stay healthy. RB is one deep unless Miller figures his availability and conditioning out. We have two talented WRs with injury concerns. Not much behind them, though Means looks like he has some developmental potential. I like our two young QBs but that’s entirely going off feeling.

We have some maybes and some guys who are good enough to be on an NFL roster.

I don’t know, it all looks really thin to me with not a lot of room to upgrade this roster anytime soon. Hitting at a higher rate and higher level on drafts and UDFAs would help a lot until more money frees up.
