Kinda surprised they don't have us dead last

Yeah, the Texans and the Jags must really suck! So obviously, we don't play either this season.

The only thing keeping people from ranking us dead last is that the draft is fresh on the mind and we drafted heavier on defense than any team ever has, quite literally. We were a terrible defense last year and we lost the best player from every level of that already terrible defense. We added a lot of talent and hopefully that'll translate to a good defense in the future, but this is almost certainly gonna be a dreadful defense this year.

Agreed...we are going to get curb stomped a few times I believe.

I won't be surprised if we set some records for defensive futility this season.

I generally agree. Just not happy to have to be terrible for a few seasons to hopefully get where we need to be 

To be honest, we should have made sure that we were going to be worse than we are...I hope this works out, but the way this is shaping up will have us as some pretty big losers over the next few years.

Should be fun though...there will be lots to talk about.

I think next season will be the only season we should be not as competitive, if we nail the next draft and get a CB1 along with depth at other places, we will be straight. That's not thinking about the cap space we will have!

aside from drafting Notre Dame corner Troy Pride Jr. in the fourth round—did not add much to the secondary.

LOL. Toss this ranking in the trash.
