That's spot on. I would add a few guys that might have bigger opportunities this year:
CJ Uzomah and Tyler Kroft, both TEs. With Eifert injured, both will get significant opportunities to make an impact.
My surprise guy this year is a guy I scouted heavily: Cody Core. I think they stole him in the 6th round. Big, fast, great hands, but a bit raw. He has already responded well to coaching and the team really likes him. I could see him getting a few vertical shots early when teams don't know who he is.
Rex Burkhead is going to get more opportunities this year as well.
On the defensive side of the ball, last year's Round 4 selection, Marcus Hardison #91 has been having a quiet, but very good camp and preseason. The guy can line up at 5 technique and spell Peko on third and long, both helping Peko stay fresh and generating more pass rush. A former DE, Hardison has some quicks and has looked very strong in the preseason.
Shawn Williams looks to have the intensity, but is still feeling his way around a bit (no gameplan, to be fair) at the safety position opposite George Iloka. He will be taking over for Reggie, who we lost in FA to the Raiders.
I think the end result of the season comes down to health. They are absolutely a playoff caliber team, and I would say it is a two team race for the division with the Bengals and the fat ass rapist led team to the east. If the Bengals are healthy in the postseason, they can absolutely win it all.
If that happens, I have to streak down my block (which I will gladly do) and the NFL will simultaneously explode because that isn't at all what Goodell and the legion of organized crime want, but I think this "us against the world" attitude works.
