Bennett could develop into a QB2 upgrade. But will he be come September 10th? That's a stretch/hope.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Akers if he has his head on straight. He was legitimately very good the final 6 games of 2022. But that has to carry over and they need Williams to develop as the 3rd down back.

I expect an OL upgrade simply from the standpoint that it's hard to see the train wreck of injuries they had there happening again. And I do think Avila will be solid from day one. Depth could be better (and ideally not taxed nearly as much...). I'm not projecting some top-10 OL. But I don't think they'll be bottom-10 either.

At TE I don't like Hopkins at all so I think it's possible the combination of Long and Allen might be better depth.

Maybe Wagner was sort of a luxury but he was one of the top-5 ILB in the league last year. So now they have Jones, who I think is good and getting better, along with no one else on the roster that really is remotely an NFL starter. So...

Edge and CB? Major question marks. I like Durant, and maybe Hodges-Tomlinson really can be the nickel/slot CB as a rookie. But one of Rochell and Kendrick has to really step forward or they're going to have issues... Same at Edge. Hoecht showed some really nice things when moved to that role and I would think they will develop him further. But they lost a very good player in Floyd and now are relying on Hardy, Keir Thomas and two rookies to pick up that slack and then some.

I actually think they'll end up alright at safety with Fuller, Lake and Yeast. And I like the Taylor kid they drafted in the 7th. That was a very good value pick.

I like the punter they drafted but he needs to get his feet wet and people forget that Dixon was actually good last year. Kicker? Huge question mark...
