The coaching staff will get another year. Zeke's suspension will be considered the reason for offensive failure. The defense has actually exceeded expectations considering they replaced the 3/4ths of the secondary with inexperienced players and Jaylon has played far too many snaps. The also have no legit 1tech. They must add talent regardless of coaching.
2018:
Draft BPA. Franchise DLaw. First round tender for Irving. Sign 1 legit Free Agent.
Super Star - They need to add a couple of Super Star players regardless of position. We've seen with Zeke how Super Stars make the team better even at a position that was not a perceived need.
WR - Maybe the biggest need. Dez just can't get open and doesn't catch many of the balls that hit his hands. They've tried to do too much with TWill because they lack a legit #1 and have a TE with limited range. Beasley is good when defenses are worried about other receiving threats but can be shut down when other receivers don't draw double-teams. Give Brown more snaps in 2017 to prep him to replace Butler in 2018.
TE - The top 2 receiving threats can't be a 35 year old TE and a very limited #1 WR. They might get by with one or the other but not both. Is Rico a legit option? I don't really want to draft one in the 2nd...
OT - Can Tyron have surgery on his back? I think compensating for his back might have caused the groin issue. They need a legit backup. Maybe sign 10 Greg Robinson types and see if one can play. Time to draft one also. They're paying for the decision in 2015 to re-sign Free instead of Parnell.
LB - They can't depend on Lee anymore. Jaylon may get to an OK level but they need more than just OK at 1 of the LB positions. Hitchens will want to leave because they've tried to give his job to Jaylon.
1tech - They must get a legit player here. Dontari Poe for 1-year, 8M would have been great. They need an experienced player here for 2018. Poe will be available.
Safety - We saw some of the reasons Woods has not been starting. He was out of position on at least one of the big runs by the Eagles. Maybe Awuzie comes back and plays this position.
DE - DLaw likely Franchised or re-signed. Irving could play some DE if a legit 1tech is acquired. Taco should be better next season. DLaw made a big improvement his 2nd season, IIRC. It would be interesting to give Jaylon snaps at RDE but I doubt it happens.
