I'm actually okay passing on Armstead. He was too risky. I like the build, but I can understand how some are not sold yet. I'm going to give them all of FA and the draft before I start judging too harshly. I also think with the cap they may really spend NEXT year. So, I hope to see them take a step forward this year, expecting between 5-8 wins, but more importantly seeing Fields LOOK better. And then next year, hoping for 10 wins. But maybe I just haven't been burned enough to lack faith. I like Poles/Flus and want to see if they can execute what they are promising.I actually agree the interior OL got better, it's contingent on Bates, but I like their chances. I would've hoped for them to find a way to re-sign Daniels and even in a larger perspective – use the talent already on your roster, but like I mentioned it's Pole's show. I haven't liked their approach to FA – I think they've missed out on some really good value ( Armstead ) and it doesn't make me feel good about next offseason either.
I think it's also indicative of how they view the upcoming season. It's a petri-dish year meaning they're going to observe what they have before committing any resources to the roster. I hope it works out, but we've been told this story before.
