There are only a few teams that I felt made their team better in a meaningful way this off-season.
1. Ravens
The knocks on the Ravens last year. No Wide recievers, and an aging defense. Well, now they have Boldin and Stallworth. I believe Boldin will improve the team immensely. Plus, they got "Mount" Cody. He's big, athletic and someone who I saw and liked in the games I watched.
2. The Jets
while I believe that their running game was completely gutted thanks to the absence of Jones (KC) and Washinton (Seattle) , the addition of a future hall of famer in LT may be enough to make their running game acceptable.
But back to the important stuff. They obtained wide recievers, they stole Cromartie, But They aren't number one because in all honesty they rearranged the team moreso than they made it better. They adjusted it from a gritty run first team to an athletic pass happy team. Now to hope that Sanchez can convert to a decent QB
3. The Panthers
(See Jets, 2009) Lame QB? Mediocre Back-up? Get a new one. They were already a pretty good team, Clausen can't be worse than Delhomme. And he's probably better than Moore. Now he leaves Notre Dame for a baptism by fire in Oakland.
4. The Rai...
I can't. The (team from California that wears Silver and Black) always make me regret singing their praises.But don;t be surprised if I get suckered into mentioning that the Raiders will be better than average this year, the Wrs have more experience, the RBs have more experience. The QB is not named JaMarcus Russell. And they managed not to lose Nnamdi. And if all else fails they have the two best special teams kickers in the league
5. The Redskins
Upgrade from Campbell to McNabb means everything. The additions of Willie Parker and Larry Johnson don't make them a worse team.
And Orakpo is still there .
