Last part is pretty much it. If he plays like he did in Houston we are a legit contender. I like the last 6 last season then the rest wont matter much.Basically replacing the disgruntled Clowney with this guy was a great move.
I dont think Clowney has even signed with anyone unless I am mistaken- he acted like a clown last year.
A starting D-line of Garrett, Smith, Tomlinson, and Elliot seems like it could be a pretty darn good place to start. Pushing Okoronko to a backup spot gives them some depth. Plus have some guys that drafted that should help for depth.
the d-line was very bad last year- especially when with Garrett injured for a few games, Clowney being a clown, and a bunch of young guys at DT. Now those young guys have some experience. Tomlinson will anchor the interior line. A very good starter who should be hungry for a contract in smith.
A re-worked receiver core that doesnt have a star after Cooper- but has some guys that fit some nice roles...added some speed and size. I think Moore- who they dealt their 2nd rounder for could be in line for some nice strides as a speed slot guy with Watson
I mean.
QB- Watson
RB- Chubb- top 5 RB
WR- Cooper, DPJ, Moore, Tillman, Bell, Goodwin- a stud, and some solid role guys
TE- Njoku- not a tier 1 TE with the stars of the league- but def. in the next tier
OL- Wills, Bitonio, Pocic, Teller, Conklin is def a top 5 o-line- arguably right up there with anyone
DE- Garrett, Smith, Okorunko, Wright- one of the best, good 2ndary guy in Smith, Okorunko was a nice signing as a 3rd guy
DT- Tomlinson, Elliot, Hurst, Ika, Winfrey--- Tomlinson will anchor, young guys had some time in Elliot and Winfrey...Hurst is a decent vet
LB- Walker, JOK, Phillips, eventually Taki-taki...prob. weakest part of the team if you ask me
CB- Ward, Newsome, Emerson, Green, Emerson JR- one of the best parts of the team
S- got rid of the mistake in J. Johnson who ended up being a bad signing- Delpit has had time to develop, Thornhill is no star but they dont need a star here- just someone solid. McLeod was a good signing for depth.
It really just comes down to- is Watson gonna play like he used to? if he can- its a solid team.
Defense and special teams should be much improved. Watson wont be dealing with tons of shit and will start from the beginning. WR corp. is deeper.
