Some of these are kind of duh, others more out on a limb. Sure the Peterson one won't be popular.


1. The combo of Okafor/Kikaha combines for 10+ sacks and gives us good production opposite Jordan.
2. Peterson is boom and bust. Has moments where he’s as good as ever but seems to constantly get nicked up missing time. Ingram will lead the team in yardage by a significant amount.
3. Snead continues to develop and shine with more touches and cements himself as a core piece of the offense for the next five years.
4. Tyler Davidson plays at a Pro Bowl level as a run stopper.
5. Thanks to improved LB and CB play, we’ll settle in as a top 20 D. We’ll continue to get better as the year goes on and rookies mature, and by the end of the year, the D will be a strength.
6. Marcus Williams will become our best ball hawk since the rapist and will have a greater impact on the D than Lattimore this season.
7. Lutz becomes one of the best kickers in the NFL.
8. Peat develops into a pro bowl level LG.
9. Fleener continues to be meh, not terrible, not great. He may lose snaps to a healthy Hooman as we run the ball more.
10. Daniel will look like a Pro Bowl QB in our offense this preseason.
11. Kamara will have 2x as many receiving yards as rushing.
12. We will regret not signing Sterling Moore to a multi-year deal.
13. Strief will play great in 13 of 16 games but will give up a bad sack in one game and everyone will say he sucks.
14. Mike Nolan will be considered our greatest offseason pick up.
15. David Onyematta will end up being better than Sheldon Rankins as an interior disrupter.

If this happens then watch out because (if healthy) Rankins will be a dominant force this year.

I hope so because Fairley and and Ellerbe combined for 10.5 sacks. We will need those back and then some.

nearly half of our 2016 sacks won't be back in 2017. Lots of opportunity to be passed around. Mostly Ellerbe, Fairley, Kruger and one or two others likely to not make team.

16. Brees will sit out game 16 because we have the NFC clenched.

Drew Brees will his his stride in Week 14, passing for over 400 yards in each of the final four games of the season (eclipsing 5,000 total passing yards in the process) and leading the slow-starting Saints to a record of 7-9.

My bold prediction:

Lattimore
Ramcyzk
Williams
Kamara
Anzalone

All play at least 13 games.

Fleener is our 2nd leading receiver

Arthur Maulet leads the team in INT

Anzalone is 2nd in sacks to Cam Jordan

Our OL grades out as best in the NFL per PFF at seasons end

I dont see this happening. I could see him 2nd in TDs but not yards. Payton knows what he has in Fleener and its a guy that isnt going to create separation on a route. This is why we drafted Kamara. The TEs arent on the level Graham was so we need to add that dimension that hasnt been here in awhile. The 3 headed monster of Ingram, Kamara, and Peterson. In the red zone we will use Fleener more. With Coleman looking like a stud right now, MT, Snead and Ginn, it seems highly unlikely he sees the same production as last year. Just my thoughts.
