Not to homer out or anything, but we might be unstoppable.
I mean, Cooper/Gallup are a top 5 WR pairing in the league, and then we added a top 10 prospect who I could argue might be the best WR prospect to come out in 3-5 years.

It's still unreal to me that we got Lamb at 17, not only did I think he was the best WR prospect in the draft and top 7ish overall, but I think he might be the best WR prospect to come out since...Amari Cooper.

To be fair the WR classes have lacked top-heavy talent for a few years, but still.

The only things that can stop our offense, particularly playing in empty or maybe 25% full stadiums, are miscues and injuries. Aside from that we have a good to possibly great OL, a top 3-5 RB, arguably the best group of pass catchers in the league, and a top 8ish QB.

If the season has a relatively normal rhythm and tenor without having to replace 10-20 players a week, this should be an 11-5 team with a top 5 offense at minimum.

Same goes for the quarterback.
The only concern on offense could be the O-line if they aren't healthy or the young guys don't step up. The O-line looks a bit of a mess right now but I'm not sure our top 3 OTs are even practicing. Assuming they are all good to go it's not a concern to me.

Feels precautionary to me. To make sure they're all ready by week one.

Connor Williams hasn’t been declared the starter at left guard just yet, but he’s getting there as he comes back from a torn ACL. “First ACL and it’s a huge injury so I didn’t really know what to expect at first, but slowly day by day, head down, grinded,” he said. “I’ve been here all offseason doing rehab and recoveries and Britt Brown’s done a great job with me trying to get me back on the field. I honestly feel really great right now and I feel better than where I left off last year.”

and yet, not a peep regarding his competition. McGovern apparently toiling in obscurity.

Smith and Collins will be there in 3 weeks, don't even worry about that.

I'm sure it is and I have no problem with it. I just think if there is anything that could sink this offense it would be the O-line having an injury. Weapons are only useful if you have the protection to get them the ball.

unless we are very fortunate, we have to assume that we have quality depth. Players get injured, and you have to adapt. That was garrett's downfall; every piece had to be perfect and right in place, and even then, it wasnt enough be healthy.
