Without some big changes still, I think this is a bottom 3rd team.

We saw last season how having a post-apex Gio brought the team down, now we have no Gio and huge whole on defense. Even getting Eichel doesn't solve this problem.

Improved slightly on the RW, but that was already a massive hole as well, so I am not sure a minor improvement moves the needle much.
