Having a great QB on a rookie deal is a cheat code in the NFL

I can't say im confident when those above checks are finally cashed. There's going to be a lot of holes and based on previous draft history of this staff, not sure they can fill them all.

Other than Higgins and the two lay ups of Chase and Burrow, who is a pick that has REALLY made a difference so far under the ZT era? You could argue possibly Pratt and Wilson but I'd consider those guys nice pieces but not really big impact players.

Yeah. You nailed the crux of my concerns.

I also have a weird feeling that our offense is more individual brilliance...ie throw a 12 yard pass to Chase and have him take it 60 yards, that some great scheme. I think scheme becomes more important when the talent level isn't as high.

It's weird. At times, our offense looks absolutely unstoppable. Then, other times, it looks mediocre and has struggles getting a 1st down. This was last year too.
