Can you really say teams with half their roster is free agents and udfa draft better? It's a flawed arguement
Linebacker is multiple spots. Center (as much as I liked Price) is still a question mark given a pretty rough rookie year (he could get better). Glenn was also disappointing coming in via trade to replace a massive draft bust. Our best lineman is probably Boling, which is bad. Tight End is pretty weak. WR3 is weak. We also have a lot of starters who are "ok" but not really a big plus. Most of our secondary comes to mind.
We had a couple pretty big hits in Boyd and Mixon + our aging core of Dalton, Green, Atkins, Dunlap. The rest of the roster is ok at best, and we were hurt severely by major misses along the o-line, as well as LB and of course John Ross. Again, this isn't me arguing that our scouting sucks. Just that it's hard to say it's "good" with such major flops contributing to losses and only 2 big hits over the last several years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
