We have a pretty decent RB core that really looked to pick up steam towards the 2nd half of the season. Our WR will no doubt be better this year with the additions of either VJax, Colsten...I think you get my drift here. TE, lets see Davis is a tremendous talent and if cooley is healthy could be one of the best TE tandem in the NFL.
O-line was killed by injury early. Williams, Lichenstieger (LG) Moore, Chester, and possible FA additions to the right side will make the Oline better. Lets not forget the guys that came in and played last year, did pretty damn well for never taking a snap.

Our secondary can be said to be questionable at best. Wilson came on at the end of the year, and Hall is hall. However with the young guys playing last year, gomes in particular i dont think lack of depth is a fair critique. LB core, Fletch isn't going any where, Riley will be a beast as he showed last year, Jackson is coming on. And the D line played pretty damn good too. Bowen, Cofield, Carriker, and Jenkins, Nield, I really think you are allowing the record do your thinking.

I personally am excited about the direction this team is headed. Your assesment seems a little off if you ask me.

All that sounds good. He looks the part. But doesn't history show that there's a 50% chance that either Luck or RG3 will be a bust? ... or won't live up to expectations?? I can't give up all those picks for Griffin. We're simply not in a position to do so.
