After averaging the results from the panelists, each of the five categories was weighted to create the overall score -- roster (30 percent), quarterback (20 percent), draft (15 percent), front office (15 percent) and coaching (20 percent). The result is a comprehensive ranking based on how well each team is positioned for the future.

Roster, 75.0, 19th
QB, 68.3, 29th
Coaching, 68.0, 30th
Draft, 76.7, 17th
Front Office, 71.0, 27th

What do you think?

QB and Roster are pathetically low, but have to agree with the rest.  Draft rankings are pointless until 5 years from the draft and if you look at what the Bengals got for essentially one pick in Rd 1 (Glenn and Price), they should be ranked at or near the top.  

Coaching could be ranked higher, but a lot is still really unknown.  Addition by subtraction in terms of Alexander, maybe, but a lot of the rest will have to prove their stuff works with the current roster.

I honestly have believed for some time that our roster has been one of the best, and we were held back by some horrible coaching.  Zampese should have never been OC, and I am very optimistic of what Lazor can do with an entire offseason.  What he accomplished in terms of altering blocking schemes and generating a rushing attack in-season was nothing short of amazing....oh, and he did it with a shuffled offensive line with two guys that started the season with no game experience.
