With Edwards now taking over the starting QB role, this has really turned into the Levy eras team. While im not completely happy with some of the money we have spent on FA's (Walker, Royal), I am very pleased with this team that Marv has been building through the draft. In Marvs 2 years, this team has received a face lift, and IMO headed in the right direction and should be a solid contender in the next couple of years and should remain so bc of the young talent. Just take a look at his draft picks that are now starting at crucial positions...
Defense...
McCargo (starting to show flashes of why he was a 1st rounder)
Williams
Ellison (still on the fence on him)
Whitner
Simpson (along with Whitner, could become one of the best tandems in the league)
Poz (IMO, is going to be a beast)
...Jury is still out on Youboty
Offense..
Lynch ( I love this kid)
Edwards (a starting QB in the 3rd round who is showing more potential than those selected in front of him)
Wright (hasnt had the chance to prove much yet, but looks like he could be a solid back up)
My point is, here are 9 players out of 22 who are starting and making an impact in only 2 years of drafting. You could even throw in players like Wendling who is going to be a solid ST player. With one more year of a draft, this team could have the final pieces in place to be successful for years. I look to Marv to go after a WR, CB, TE, DE, and DT next year put in the missing pieces.
