Well, I didn’t see that coming. I’ve been a big speaker of losing out to secure a top 10 pick, once Joe went down. If we did, we probably would have been a top 3-5 pick.
So many teams are around 7 wins right now, if we lose out, which we will, we should end up around 12ish. Not bad. Browning made it fun until Christmas, and I guess that has some value to it. This team needs a lot of help. DT, RT, WR 2, WR 3, TE are all FA next year. We need another edge rusher and RB. Too many holes to fill. Even if we spend our $60M cap space on a RT + Higgins + TE, we still need a stud DT and DE.
Luckily no one is THAT good in the NFL so next year we’ll have a shot at the playoffs. But our “dominant” window is closed. We’re in phase 2: competitive team and anything can happen in the NFL playoffs type of team
