That said, if Mike is serious about winning some combination of Kwon Alexander/Jordan Hicks/C.J. Mosley/Trent Brown/Ja’waun James/Roger Saffold/Timmy Jernigan/Landon Collins will be signed in FA to allow the team flexibility in the Draft. Any two on this list is easily doable given the massive amount of cap space the team is sitting on. The team has too many holes to fill via the draft. Continued bargain hunting with castoffs and retreads in FA will tell you all you need to know about the FO’s desire for a competitive 2019 season.
Until those things (scouts and facility) change, it will always show (IMO) that Mike isn't all that serious about change. As much as some things may change (new HC with plenty of say), there are some things he will be stubborn about til death.
...and yes, these next few weeks will tell us plenty about how serious the FO is about winning in 2019.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
