This team is DEEPLY flawed, down to the core. And the only thing keeping my head up is knowing that Belichick is coming.
I think a big part of it is that we have missed pretty big in the draft the last two years. Guyton looks pretty bad so far, and seems like he is good to kill at least one drive every game with a flag. Mazi Smith was supposed to be the answer to our run defense woes, he is straight garbage. So there you have two 1st round picks, in the trenches, that are garbage and it spills out to every play they are in.
I think it's okay to miss one draft year, but when you miss two years you feel it.
 
Guyton was viewed as a raw prospect who was a Right Tackle in college. Moving him to the left side & throwing him into the fire was a huge misstep by them. Anyone who had scouted him would know that. But I think he'll be fine at RT long-term.
The bigger issue is how they handled free agency. Relying on the draft alone to fill holes is not a winning formula obviously. Much like Jerry, the Hawks went dumpster diving in free agency & now they're paying the price for it. Not only do they have huge holes along the offensive line (depth), but also issues at LB. They let both Jordyn Brooks & Bobby Wagner leave in free agency & in a move that was made out of desperation, they had to give up a 4th round pick to acquire Ernest Jones. Thankfully, Jones is a much better player than Jonathan Mingo.
