Since there is so much predicting the future going on...

What if Hart is a better player in his second year here? What if Turner really does see in him what he says he does and can bring it out? And is it impossible that we find a better one on day 2 of the draft?

Are we looking better yet?

What if Jefferson really does have potential that is realized this season? There's one speed LB. Maybe they see a way to find another in the draft.

Are we looking better yet?

Maybe CJ Uzomah, who has improved each year, takes another step this year and we find another good one among the many in the draft? Are we okay at TE now?

How about if we better utilize Ross and Gio and Josh Malone steps up? Maybe we find a good one day 2 to add to the mix.

What if Rod Taylor or Westerman are the answer at RG? Or if Hopkins goes back to C and Price is the answer at RG?

Maybe we should have gone after Jordan Hicks. OTOH:



"The Eagles are going to lose linebacker Jordan Hicks to the Arizona Cardinals. Hicks is set to a sign a four-year, $36 million contract, according to the NFL Network.

Hicks, 26, has been a productive player for the Eagles for the past four years -- when healthy. His problem has been a series of injuries that have caused him to miss time in three of his four seasons with the Eagles, including during their Super Bowl run. Hicks has been absent for 21 regular-season games and finished two seasons on injured reserve. But when Hicks is on the field, he’s a skilled all-around linebacker that the Eagles must replace. He’s also a respected leader in the locker room."

Wait a minute--

Are we tired of frequently injured LB's or only our own frequently inured ones?

I will say I can't make sense of the Giants seeming to be so intent on making the Browns better at their own expense. They look great on paper, for sure. But how will they handle being expected to win from day one? If our history damns us, what does their history say about them? Weird thing about the NFL--early favorites don't always get to the finishe line. They stayed very healthy last year. Can they do it two years in a row? the Jags were the next big thing in '17 and won five in '18.

There's a lot more tape on Mayfield and Kitchens and there will be a lot of hands looking for the ball. Chemistry doesn't always happen overnight. There's really only one sure thing in the NFL and it lives in New England.
