that doesn't mean anything now, how can they know that before the draft?

Probably because 95% of all players drafted don't contribute enough to make much of a difference.

But you are correct, just going by last years records is a horrible way to judge strength of schedule.

Just in our own division I could see a 7 to 10 game improvement from last years records.

I think ATL, NO and CAR will be 2 to 3 games better than last year and Tampa could be 3 or 4 games better.

We don't play any elite teams this year. We play a few really good ones, (DAL PHL, AZ, DET, IND) and then a bunch of middle of the road teams like HOU, TEN, JAX, NYG, and WAS.

It certainly looks easier than last year's schedule (on paper of course)
