Bilal Powell could wind up a surprising linchpin to an effective O, as a check down safety valve mainly. the organization seems to have faith in him, probably thinking they've gotten a steal on great value. If he plays every game I see him attaining more than 1k all purpose yards. damn near got that in 2013, he's got no outstanding talent anywhere, but he's also an underestimated all around player. keep an eye on #29 for offense. Coples is my most likely to surprise on D BTW, double digit sacks this year, watch out!
Geno is my surprise pick of 2015. I will be surprised if he is still on the roster at the start of the season.
You say some of the most outlandish stuff man... you have to know that most of what you say has no chance of ever happening, right?

If Milliner plays to his potential, I would have to say top to bottom this might be the best cornerback corps in history. The best corner in the league followed up by 3 studs. Our 5th option is gonna be someone like Marcus Williams or MacDougle. If Pryor can also step it up, we're gonna be scary. I would expect even Couples having an easy time getting to the QB as our elite d-line will eat up all the blockers and QB will have no one to throw to.
He's become a decent option at the LB position, but I think he really needs to kick it up a gear if he wants a big contract.
Davis is a good choice, the DL and secondary will be lights out so he'll have a lot of opportunities for tipped ball/hurried dump off INTs and coverage sacks
Got a good feeling about this kid. Hopefully, he becomes a Brandon Moore type, and solidifies a tackle (or guard) spot for the next decade. Disclaimer: Had a good feeling about the $241M lottery drawing, too...
I really hope its Ivory.. This guy needs to get the rock 25 times a game.. If we feed him the ball on a consistent basis week in and week out, playoffs are a certainty. Top 10 RB we have talent wise and we barely use him.
on offense, i think it's Powell. he's going to fit this style very well, and get a lot more chances as a result. on defense, any number of guys could step up, post good stats, and appear better than they actually are. for instance, it wouldn't surprise me if Pace put up an 8 sack year. Pryor may be able to play completely downfield, and put up big hits as a result. it will be a result of our key guys though, Revis, Mo, and Rich... they will put the rest of the D in the best possible scenario, so that is who i would likely credit.
The reason I don't think it will be Pryor is that he tends to go for the big hit instead of the takeaway, if it's either safety I'd guess it would be Gilchrist
