Downgrade at safety. Downgrade at QB. Downgrade at WR.
You're going to lose more than 9 games.

I didn't realize that you were such a Jeudy fan. If you aren't aware that Patrick is at least as good, you soon will be.
Simmons is a loss. But have you noticed that he still has not been signed. [I have to edit this because he just signed with Atlanta but the point stands--he sat unclaimed for a very long time, which suggests that no one in the NFL believed he was a critical piece.]
As for QB, I really don't know how you live with yourself saying that, in comparison to what you said last year. He was not good. His stats were middling and he played worse than the stats. He gave up way too many sacks that were his fault, and he lost his nerve and bailed out of the pocket incredibly often. At least one of the QBs on the roster can give what he gave last year.
Denver took one of the worst dead money hits in history to get rid of Wilson. I haven't heard commentators saying that was crazy. But you're here saying "yeah he was pretty good."
