I think it's at least a two year rebuild though. Especially now we're without our first round pick (just imagine next year it'll be like having four first round picks when new guy, Williams, Ross and Price all start!). This year appears to be to shape the offense: a LT, a TE who is integral to the way Coach Taylor wants to structure the offense. There are still holes there let alone contemplating the draft capital for a new QB or strengthening the defense.


Worst case is AJ, Boyd AND Mixon all being injured but let's not go there...

Having said that it would help our draft stock. As discussed, the worst case scenario is to tail off and finish on 6-8 wins.

Yes, well said. A lot of variables.
This team needed more than just 1 OL, 1 TE, and 1 LB to be a contender, but it's a start.
If Ross and Price/Hopkins blossom this year, that removes a need for next year's draft.
If Hart turns into the player Taylor thinks he can be, that removes a need.
If Preston Brown returns to his BUF form, that removes a need.
