We need to sign two FA starters, two rookie starters, and replace a handle full of backups from this offseason.

Assuming the QB does not change the top 4 replacements should be
1. WR to start replace Chambers
2. NT to shore up the middle of the D
3. OLB to replace Vrabel
4. OL to replace (Waters or Weigman, I don't think both will be back)

Oline: Albert, Lilja, Asamoah are the only quality NFL lineman we have. Richardson appears he might be ok, Wiegman and Waters are ready for retirment.

RB: Charles is a stud, but he needs someone to help with the carries. Jones should not brought back he is being totally overhyped. Battle should have been replaced already.

WR: Bowe is the only starter we have. McCluster will be a nice slot receiver. Need to see more of Tucker. The remainder of the group should be gone.

QB: We have a #2 QB.

Dline: Dorsey is the only quality starter. A couple decent role/depth players....Edwards, Smith, Gilberry.

LB: DJ and Hali. Vrabel should not be back. Studebaker and Bulcher are decent backups, but the rest are not very good.

DB: This group is in pretty good shape. I think Carr needs to be replaced as a starter. I'm not sure Arenas is the answer. Flowers, Berry, Carr, Lewis, Arenas, McGraw, Leggitt

I think your analysis is too pessimistic. Some of the players you mentioned deserve a bit more credit and will perform better when glaring holes are filled which makes the whole TEAM perform better.
