This offseason has been very frustrating for a few reasons:
1. Health. I thought the team did a very good job of upgrading the MOST important parts of the roster. The changes to the O-line were great (other than keeping Hart around). Getting AJ and Dalton healthy is a big upgrade. This team started out pretty good last year.
2. The O-line. The failed trade up in the 2nd round is really killing us now. I'm not sure who the target was, but Cody Ford would have come in handy at OG right now. Jawann Taylor or Dalton Risner would have also helped.
3. Free agency. Free agency sucks all the way around. Decent players get great contracts and great players get stupid money. It makes it damn near impossible to upgrade the roster with a starting caliber guy unless you pay him 2x what he's worth.
In the grand scheme of things, losing Jonah and Boling may be the best thing for the franchise long term. It may finally get this team to a top 2 or 3 slot in the draft and get us a legit QB star caliber QB that we haven't had since Palmer.
