I predicted 9-7 last year and they failed me. Assuming we don't get swept by Philly and the Giants again, 10-6 is not out of the question, but I'll stick with 9-7 until they prove otherwise.
As the Fonz would say, exactamundo. Had they drafted JJ Watt last year, "occupying blockers" is not the sole ability they would have expected from him.
There's no way they would have drafted Spears at #20 if they felt that all he was gonna do is "occupy blockers." Those unglamorous guys you get in rounds 2-7.
It should be perfectly obvious by now that we don't have the braintrust in place to find the right players, so there's gonna be a lot of unhappy people no matter what.
