First and foremost, I predict that we will all be amazed by improved play and production by many existing players when under the direction of a new HC and coaching staff on O.
New schemes, techniques, game plans will result in a "miraculous" improvement in all position groups. Many players will suddenly approach their respective ceilings.
QB
RB
Entire OL
TE
WR's
Our current HC and his staff just appear to be disfunctional when it comes to O matters.
Merely decent coaching should raise this group from #31 to #16 ranking, I would think. That, alone, would put playoffs back on the table for next year.
Hope Britt and Quick can keep up their present trendlines. If so, that would greatly reduce our WR needs in '17. I'm encouraged by the improvement of both players this year and think both players can be productive for years to come. Particularly with a new coaching staff and if Goff turns out to be a legit franchise QB.
Gawd, I hope they can find a way to afford and keep TruJo. That would remove a very big need for '17, as well. Together with a healthy Gaines, I think we would be set at the very important CB for years to come.
BPA all the way in '17 would then be possible. All glaring holes would have been removed at that point. Including QB, RB, OL, CB, and S.
A draft dream scenario for a GM. Simply take BPA available at each pick for all 7 picks.
FWIW, I agree with Alyo's projection of DE with our 2nd rounder. Probably gonna be best value/need match for us. After that, who knows?
To summarize, a new HC and O coaching staff changes everything, IMO. A Saban or Urban Meyer type from the college ranks changes player and fan attitudes and expectations both profoundly and instantly. Or a highly regarded current NFL assistant, perhaps? One with perceived executive skills?
Goodbye 7-9 BS!
Hello Playoffs!
