Outside of an aging McCoy, what's good about the current supporting cast for an incoming QB?
A legit emerging shutdown corner who looks to become an elite player in White....an extremely talented safety tandem in Hyde and Poyer. Draft capital. And Shady still has time left as an elite back. I fully believe Shady will have at least an elite/top 5 RB season in 2018, and still believe he will perform as a top 10-15 back in 2019 and 2020.
This is what needs to be done.
Fire Denison. Complete garbage OC. Another Oc on a long list of bums. Keep Tyrod one more year. Yes we need a legit franchise QB. No Tyrod is not one. But you think a rookie QB will lead us back to the playoffs? Not likely, not unless we move into the top 5. Keep Tyrod one more year and draft a QB with 21 or 22. Let him sit for a year and hope Tyrod can win another 9-10 games.
In the draft we need our QB and a DT with our first two picks. A LB and WR in round 2. Keep Matthews if cheap enough.
Receiving corps next year w/Matthews: Benjamin, Matthews, Jones, 2nd round pick, Clay, O'Leary. In 2019 unless Benjamin has a great year he will probably be priced out so in 2019 our top 3 would be Matthews,Zay and the 2nd round pick. Even with Zay we need to add another high WR. Luckily with the new found cap space I fully believe we can post another winning season.
The only thing that pisses me off is not trading with Houston instead of KC. Inexcusable. Every single person with more then a single brain cell knew KC would be a playoff team and Houston would be 8-8 at best, instead they finished with the #4 pick. Cleveland lucks out with a high pick but Houston doesn't care because they got the next superstar QB....imagine if we had traded with Houston instead....picks #4 and 21. God, there would be our franchise QB with pick 4.
