The wonderful thing about the draft we had... is the amount of players that will be able to come in and start right away. Odrick, Misi, Edds, Jerry, even Jones. I expect all of these player to come in and play almost immediately, of course most of them won't start but will certainly be in the game at some point. We'll be able to figure out who we are very quickly, after about week 6 I'll be able to tell you if we can win the big one. The addition of a top 5 wide out, a linebacker who excels in just about everything, and a brand new scheme from one of the best defensive minds in the league right now can't do anything but make us leaps and bounds better.
I'm sick of saying "Maybe not this year, but NEXT year sure!" Tuna seems to be feeling the same way, thus the sudden splurge for talent. We can do it this year, a ton of question marks all over the defensive side.... but why can't they be great? Oddly enough I think the biggest variable in all of this is Davis' and Smith's progress, if those two take the next step AND we can generate a pass rush? I mean we're already pretty stout against the run, if we can stop the pass as well then you'd better watch out.
