'Upgrading' an OL that has been top 3 in the league for two years wasn't going to happen. They are transitioning which requires a lot of moves and patience along the way.
I see nothing of Allen yet to think he is not a fine replacement for Sullivan, if not a long-term upgrade. Is he better than Sullivan was this time last year? No...
Noteboom is likely their LT of the future but it makes a ton of sense for him to start at LG next to Whitworth for a year.
Blythe- future TBD but clearly this missed him at Cleveland...
Some view Edwards as a pure tackle but I think it's very likely he starts at LG next year.
Allen may be an upgrade over Sullivan especially end of year Sullivan.
But that's the only position that we can even remotely argue is upgraded. The rest have either stayed the same or taken a step down.
But I agree with you: the transition to the future doesn't look bleak at all.
