As for the rest of your post, I see your point.
Two rookies are the horses to turn the page this year?

I love the Hali pick. But reality tells me, (a) Hicks (who is a Gunther favorite) is still going to get playing time, (b) rookie impact is always limited, (c) Hali's impact is going to be further limited by the sub-par performance of KC's DT's. and (d) Gun and Herm have already discussed moving Hali into a DT spot in some situations even further limiting, IMHO, Hali's impact.

As for Pollard, I'm coming around to liking the pick more than I did a week ago, but I don't see him unseating Knight, the defensive leader and brains of the team.

I also agree with what Coogs has already posted. First it was "I can win with the existing players, they just need a new scheme." Then it was "I really need this shopping list of players." The shopping list is obtained and then it is "I still need more."

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?

EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
