I'd put the last two years light years ahead of those guys. We only got a taste last year....Waynes missed the entire season, Reader went down early, and there wasn't much else, aside from Von Bell. The first year of Zac, we got typical, bargain bin types. Year two looked promising. This year? Holy smokes! You add Trey Hendrickson, Reader comes back and ready to play, Awuzie winds up a very solid addition, Mike Hilton, then you still have Bell balling, and the Eli Apple gamble pays off way better than I anticipated. That's just the defense. Reiff improved RT pretty substantially, and re-signing Spain was key.

My worry about going into next season is a lot of that defense is on 1 year contracts.  Our OL needs SERIOUS help....and people are going to be up for some pretty substantial raises.  

Personally, I see no way this team can keep the 3 WR together, Mixon together and sign good pieces for the OL once Burrow gets his contract extension.  So if they're going to do something....it has to be done in the next 2 years IMO.
