Some of the other higher priced vets will get rotated out, some extended (Jonah, Boyd, Chido, Mixon, Hilton, BJ Hill, Hubbard, Cappa, Karras, Wilson, Pratt.).
The only young guys who are established as core pieces are Battle & CTB. Volson is close. Next year will go a long way on Dax, Turner, Murphy, C. Brown, Iosivas, C. Jones, and Ivey/Anderson.
I think the drafts have been slightly above average.. They haven’t missed on many but none have forged themselves as rising stars. They need some Puka Nacua breakouts. I’m not bagging on any of them.Again I’m not giving up or dogging several but hopeful they become stars. Dax Hill I love but he’s now a third year first rounder. Kyle Hamilton was drafted the same year and was first team All Pro safety. Myles Murphy is similar. You can blame the defense for taking a step back. You can blame the season on Joe’s health. But the OL though fully healthy can’t run block. They could have stepped up and made a big difference when Joe was hobbled the first few games and then for Jake. Big downer. Baltimore fixed their issues and got much better. They went out and got Roquain Smith.Their recent drafts have resulted in key starters. Zay Flowers, Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Lindenbaum and fired their OC and hired Todd Monken. Their team’s success isn’t just tied to Lamar’s health.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
