Yeah, the draft is really our biggest chance to have improvement, but it's actually rare for rookies to be positive contributors.
Yep, that's the second biggest hope(or probably the biggest)...
It's not over but... I just don't see any significant changes happening. It's just not in Ballard's nature. We should know by now.
Some might not be, some will... for example, I am almost certain the Texans will be stronger than last year.
Like I said above... I'm just kind of tired of watching the same thing happen every year under Ballard. Ballard is "never finished with roster building" but what does that mean exactly? He will sign C or D free agents that have not been singed in wave 1 or wave 2 of FA... he will get some FA off the streets to compete for spot in October or whatever... But do those moves actually have any serious impact? Do they raise the ceiling of this team. I feel like Ballard has resigned himself to the draft and I can't help but follow suit and just have all my hopes for this team tied to the draft. And this is happening with a QB on rookie deal too... I have no idea why I believed him when he was hinting he might change his approach now that he can afford more things now that his QB is really cheap...
