Okay, finally around to this one.

@BmoreBird22 has given Andrew Luck something he has never had: an OL! Defensive unit should be solid with Daniels and Avril leading the way, though that LB corps is pretty weak. My vote to be best now and in 3 year time.

@Daft Classic did what the Texans did and put their future on the arm of Brock Osweiler. At WR Sanders and Smith will complement each other well. Von Miller will bring the heat as always and Berry/Chancellor is a great S combination, though I'd rather have Berry at SS than FS.

With Matt Ryan throwing to Dez Bryant and TY Hilton, @berad has a great passing game, but the investment at WR and defense shows on the OL, where the interior is pretty weak. Strong all-around defense.

@regz1997 has a good team, but an investment in 5 WRs in 26 rounds leaves the team lacking in other areas. Houston, Hughes, Slay is a good defensive core for the future, but Houston likely misses the start of this season.

I really appreciate the vote of confidence. 

I'm surprised to get the biggest vote of confidence for this year just because I have a lot of young guys (Rollins, Clark, Shelton, etc), players who are coming off injury (Zuttah, Beachum), or haven't really been full time starters for long or at all (Williams, Hodges). I think this would be an excellent team three years down the road (I definitely do think they'd be the best in this division long term).

I don't think my linebackers are that bad if Hodges can get back to a respectable starting level like he did with the Vikings and if Todd Davis can show that the promise he showed as a backup can translate into a starter role. Obviously, lot of ifs, but I think this team has a lot of potential for next year.

I also think I have one of the few offensive lines that could compete with my divisions defensive front sevens.

I basically concur with the crush assessment on this one. I thought about Berad for this year but that interior Oline with Ryan is not good and that's harder to overcome than a tackle weakness.

Its not my fault
