This roster was always one more offseason away from legit playoff contention. But there were a bunch of positives from the season:
* We know we have keepers at head coach and defensive coordinator (for at least one more year).
* We gave a bunch of young guys a chance to play. Many of them showed they are NFL-caliber and got to experience the pressure of a playoff push.
* We'll have cap space during an offseason when not many teams will -- and at least four pretty attractive rosters are going to have to tear down.
* We'll have four picks in the top 50.
