The optimism of draft season fades, and reality sets in for some NFL teams.
A handful simply aren't headed in the right direction. Granted, "right" can mean different things to different front offices. When the Miami Dolphins were clearly tanking last year, it was the wrong direction in the short term, but those at the controls were hopeful it was the right move long-term.
With the emphasis on winning games in 2020, some teams just aren't making good moves. Whether it's intentional or not, key losses, a head-scratching approach to acquiring personnel and muted projections leave some teams looking at a slog of a rough season.
