Lack of depth at WR is really apparent. I wish we had addressed that in the draft. I can see their thinking though. We had Adams and Puka, plus the 13 personnel packages, and hopefully Ferguson emerging. It was a great offense last year, so just run it back.
Then draft for the future (Simpson and Klare to be the eventual Stafford/Higbee) and then spend some future draft capital to go all in on the defense.
On paper, it was not a bad strategy, maybe, but it really counted on some aging veterans, and in Ferguson's case an oft-injured youngster) staying healthy, as well as a lot of new faces meshing on D. And, of, course, none of that addressed special teams, who really probably cost a SB shot last year. Throw in all the extra injuries and here we are...
