I'm expecting a slight dropoff this year due to worse tackle play than the team had last year. Andre Smith's play in a contract year is nothing to sneeze at. Ogbuhi or Fischer will probably not be as good as Smith right away.
There's also the question as to whether or not Whitworth can keep playing at the level he has been. The diminished tackle play will be further complicated if Marvin Jones chases a fat stack of cash elsewhere. It's a situation where certain spots have a good chance at being worse next year than they were this year. With any luck the team's drafted talent will emerge, or they will "hit" on some picks this year in order to pick up the slack.
