It would look a lot like our offseason after the 2008 season. It was a mess.

Right, because the Falcons had a terrible 2008 offseason when they hired Dimitroff. They drafted their future franchise QB in the 1st round along with an OT. They also grabbed a starting LB and a 3rd WR in the same draft. They hired their HC who has compiled a 47-21 record. They signed Michael Turner.
They ended up going 11-5 in that first season. They haven't had a losing season during his tenure.
What a disaster!
