Nobody is as good at predicting the future as they think they are. I don't know what the future holds so I'm not going to try to predict it.

So we built that top 3 roster through free agency?

If we keep things the status quo and make very few changes, then I don't see a reason to believe that we'll compete for title next year. We're more than likely going to let Zeitler walk, because we need to roll over money for extensions. We'll get to the draft where we take a guy, who the coaches rave about in camp, and then we see him play STs primarily.
We won't sign zeitler to an extension because we need to save the money for the peko and maualuga 5 year extensions.
We prefer cheap contracts for older unproductive samoans than expensive younger productive players. Especially the non flashy positions like interior offensive line.
Mike Brown is a bargain hunter. He's still wearing Bengals outfits from the 90's.

Not sure why you think you nailed Pistons. Its not like those top 3 rosters came from the last 3 drafts, and the evidence of our recent poor drafts is all over this 5-8-1 season.
