By not taking care of the one major deficiency of our entire team, our lack of depth, they are continuing to gamble with our team's success. My expectation going into a season is that we should have a chance for success no matter the impediment, our opponent, the weather, or the team's overall health.
The success you think we'll have is contingent upon the health of a one or two players. Injuries are far too common in the NFL to rest your team's success on the health of one or two players.

My argument is that we took care of depth by adding quality at the top. What one or two players? In a different thread it was pointed out that our DLine starters rotated regularly.
Our depth weakness on the Oline was not fully addressed and we did get Extremely lucky with Dock, but we added/solidified the left for next several years. And in the draft, and our younger veterans, we have to see them step up.
Finally, back to your comment that our success is dependent on one or two players, I disagree, but even so, nearly every team has one or two players that make or break them and the teams whose lines have been extremely healthy(giants oline) haven't tested their backups.
Come the regular season, I will be screaming at the screen and praying our backups when called upon meet the need. But right now, I am enjoying the Skins offseason, and thankful that the our front office makes every attempt to field a SB worthy team, with the Highest quality players available.
