Many things are possible when a team can evaluate talent exceptionally well via draft, FA, and trades.
It can make a transformation from 4-12 into 11-5 in a single year.
Rejuvenate Goff and Gurley.
Acquire Big Whit, Woods, Sully, and NRC via FA.
Move Joyner to FS.
Draft Kupp, JJ, and Ebu without benefit of a 1st rounder.
Trade for Watkins.
Second year offseason has been spectacular.
Peters
Talib
Suh
Cooks
Extend Gurley, Cooks, NRC, and hopefully AD.
Draft Noteboom, Allen, Demby, Day, Kiser, Obo, Franklin-Myers, among others (having used their 1st and 2nd in trades).
Finding this Hodge kid via UDFA.
Those are off the top of my head and yeah, we haven’t yet played a single game in the ‘18 regular season, but this team is now among the favorites to be a SB team.
That kind of a turnaround is possible when a FO and coaching staff are top notch and firing on all cylinders.
Kudos to all involved. Just spectacular results, huh?
Somebody pinch me!
