Right now there is no #7 available next year that would "take us to a new level", the fact is none are any better than what we have to choose from internally. All of the "available" external options have deficiencies of their own, be it age, injuries, long rap sheets, unjustifiable price tags or just plain not good enough. Unless something/someone falls out of the sky, that's the way it is.
Not one of our 1/2 prospects is guaranteed the role, it's open for someone to take it and make it theirs. We need to let the coaching staff work on what we have during the pre season, then accept that whoever they choose has been the best, worked the hardest, displayed the most skills and has actually earned the gig.
