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.

Yep. We're mainly living off of what we did 7-8 years ago.

When I looked at the PFF rankings, we had 7-8 starters who graded out in the 50's or lower. You're not going to win with those numbers in the NFL.

2 LB's
TE
G
RT
C was bad most of the year
LT was bad most of the year but I think Glenn finished somewhere in the low 60's which isn't great but adequate.

Some of our CB's graded low.
MJ graded REALLY low at DE.
Billings graded pretty low then towards the end of the year inched up.

You can see why we finished 6-10. Now people will argue these ratings, but we did finish 6-10.
