We're most likely drafting the best quarterback prospect we've had since we drafted Carson. We've also got high picks in the rest of the draft and should have some flexibility.
We had some players come on late that could be solid starters. Pratt may be one of my new favorite guys. He's not blowing anything up, but he looks like he's going to be a reliable guy, judging by the last several games. Jordan may give us some rotational line help. Those were two bigger concerns at the start of the season, but don't seem as pressing heading into the draft.
We've also been using the waiver wire, which is a good sign that we're going to be active bringing in new guys.
Our coaching improved as the season went on, too.
Toss in a most likely weaker schedule (we ended the season with one in the top 10ish).
2020 is going to be a good year for the team.
Probably going to be a lot of dudes giving you crap for this Benton but you make a lot of good points and as long as
the coaches come along and learn we will be better. Van Pelt is still an outstanding QB coach and that sure helps big
time with Burrow and not ruining him as Shake and I have feared might happen with this staff.
Need to get a new DC though. I like Pratt, always have but we need more fast LB's like him that can tackle and cover.
The O-line improved big time as the year went on. Turner isn't nearly as bad as the Piano Man.
