Biggest player improvement in 2026?

[Coogiguy03]

Which player(s) on this team need to show improved play going into this season? Some easy ones would be Guyton, Blue, and you can even throw in Overshown and Turpin. I don't think he was as electric as he was previously, yes he was injured, but he didn't seem to have much electricity in his game. We're counting on these players to provide important roles on this team in 2026. So who are the players on this team in 2026 to you that needs to improve??? Please give your thoughts

Overshown with guyton a close second. If overshown can put together a full season of high level play he can help transform this defense and we know they need all the help they can get.

 

[JBS]

Revel

 

[Wildcat711]

My first thought is all of them.

but I will give JW and Aub a pass.

 

[Robbieac]

Dak.

He is in the best shape of his life, and his best football is still ahead of him.

 

[Yobwocs]

Dak.

He is in the best shape of his life, and his best football is still ahead of him.

How much better does he need to be? His defense keeps letting him down. His two best years (2023 and 2025), the defense could not keep 40 points off the board in the most important game of the year (Packers and Lions).

I think quite a few need to show improvement. The 2nd and some 3rd year players where they usually make improvements anyway.

As well some coming off of injuries. And some nagging injuries that lingered during the season. The list is long.

Even Steele now 2 years after his big injury. He needs to show why they gave him the big contract like he was before his injury.

Bland, if his 2nd surgery heals properly this time.

Sam Williams!!

Well... we have 4 elite players. Dak, Pickens, Lamb, and Smith.... so I'd say it's unlikely to be them. How much better are they from where they are now?

Aubrey is teetering on elite. But because his bad streak is so recent, literally the last 4 games of the year.... the Vikings being the game where we needed him. And....sure we probably miss the playoffs anyways if we win out.... but still the reason I don't put Aubrey as elite is because because of that. He can easily regain his form.

Williams some call elite, but we haven't seen it yet. Still not been on the team that long tho, so maybe we will start to see it. So I'll say Q for this reason.

Mingo has been a total bust. Either he improves or he's gone

 

[Bullflop]

Sam Williams!!

Believe it or not, he has potential if he ever gets his head straight. He's a physical specimen, without a doubt, but the mistakes must be eliminated. He's a work project, needing to be steadily improved upon.

Overshown with guyton a close second. If overshown can put together a full season of high level play he can help transform this defense and we know they need all the help they can get.

Guyton needs to improve his overall strength. Gaining impetus in the weight room can help his cause.

i hear you bullflop, but i expect more from a 2nd round pick after 4 years.
2nd round picks need to be more than a project after 4 years- even if one year he was injured. When is enough, enough?

Defense has a lot choices. How about Lamb on offense? Way to many drops last year.

It matters not which round winners are selected in. Those in the war room need to make the most of each and every potential player to consider and select. Paying close attention to their qualities, both mental and physical, is important to achieving success. Let's just hope that occurs in this NFL draft. The defense will be the major goal in this go-around. It's crucial for this draft to work out really well.

Dak.

He will be 40 and we will still hear this.

 

[Whyjerry]

I would say Overshown and DE.

This is very true, I hope it's just not act contract season for him so he gets his money and goes back to being agent 0 in the injury room!!

Revel

Big one!!!!

Dak.

Lol lol lol lol o lol popcorn!!

Don't they usually show us something in the first season it seems, the somehow the years after that don't always seem to be so great

Nobody wants to talk about that, good points!!

Some easy ones? You really need to learn football. Injuries and poor coaching are more responsible for 3 of those 4 players.
