Offense-

Quarterback - He was bad this year. Didnt crack 4k yards. 50 points fewer scored than any other team in the division. Stat Padford turned into Gott Staffired....again.

RB - Kerryon was great when healthy...little worried if he'll ever be healthy with injuries now in college and first year as pro. Real deal when hes on the field and was better in the pass game than i thought. Blount is terrible and Riddick regressed. I feel like part of Tate being traded is they thought Riddick would be able to step up his game...it didnt work.

WR - Marvin and Golladay seem like they are both good #2s imo. Youre probably not going to spend a ton of money there so the best we can do in the off season is get a quality #3. Powell showed in week 17 that he can do a lot of things Edelman does in NE...Lions rarely develop players into more than showing brief instances of what they can become so im not expecting to see an Edelman like transformation anytime soon...the talent is there though.

Oline - Ragnow was good and Decker had an up n down year. Crosby good depth that might take over for Wagner in 2020? RG and C need to be addressed. Mush brain and glasgow is average at best.

Defense-

Dline - I like our starters. Robinson improved when snacks arrived. Harrison is a beast. I think Hand can develop to be whats he needs to be on this defense...quality run stopper that can set an edge and cause some pressure.

LBS - Terrible. Davis showed flashes of what he can be when hes allowed to play fast post-Harrison arrival. But my god you get a body on him and theres gaps everywhere. Christian Jones is awful...bye. Okwara and Kennard should fight it out for 1 of the OLB positions next year. We need an upgrade at Rush LB/Edge. Harold and Kennard/Okwara as quality depth.

CB - cut everyone but Slay. Agnew can stay as KR/PR but doesnt ever belong on the field for D. Complete overhaul....i swear to god if i see Lawson on this team next year then we have the worst GM at evaulating talent in the NFL.

S - Walker and Diggs right now. Ideally you find another starter for Diggs so he can go play Nickel/Dime close to the line where hes most impactful. Quin has to go...its just his time.

ST was great. Let fucking Prater kick 50 yd FGs and we'd be even better.
 
Take away top rb 6.5 games ,top two wrs 9 and 7.5 games and top te 8 games and have shady blocking in final 10 games. Brady and brees would have qb rating of 70

Do I have the repeat the game where 4 undrafted players with less than 20 total catches scored a TD from Brees? Here we just make excuses. Teams have injuries, not just us.
