A few things significantly stand out.
1. It's wild to take one look at that roster in its totality and also realize we are pretty tightly strapped to the cap. It's significantly worse than the last 3 seasons. There is a ton of cheap UDFA labor here (the Stephen special).
2. The RB position is a complete dumpster fire. I'm aware that in the cap era that's not a spot where you want to allocate significant dollars, but an honest effort from the FO here could have made a difference. It's going to be very difficult to win games against good opponents when Dak is dropping back 45 times a game. Hope Rico and Deuce come to play, but hope isn't a strategy.
3. Where are the pass rushers? For a defense that makes their nut getting after the QB and forcing turnovers, seems like a significant downgrade. I know they love the position flex of some of these DL, but I just don't see it yet. What I am seeing is a team not sold on last year's first round pick, and are using valuable roster spots on journeymen DL that can and should do his job better.
4. Safety group looks great. I have high hopes for the receiver group as well. I think the OL could turn out nice if a lot of things go right.
5. Incredible group of specialists, but the Goodwin experiment should have been over in 2021.
