I believe that Rudock puts a floor under QB play. If he gets beaten out, it's because someone has stepped up. I believe that we won't see many turnovers from the QB spot this season and that's more than half the battle. So (if you agree with that assertion)...
What position now most determines the team's fate?
OL is an easy choice, but a lot of early reports suggest that the OL (which IMO was rapidly improving by the end of last year) looks ripe for a major leap. There may be other riskier spots.
WR might be a reasonable call, since no one is back.
Pass Rusher (WDE or OLB) is a candidate.
Some might go RB or TE.
I'll take the easy way out: If the OL comes up big - this is a 10 win (or better) team.
