So you're saying at some critical positions, QB and OL they have more depth. That doesn't mean they're more talented.
They don't have a QB as talented as Ridder.
They don't have a RB as talented as Ford - there's potential there, but not yet.
They don't have a WR as talented as Pierce - again potential, but not there yet.
They don't have a CB as talented as Gardner or Bryant.
I'd actually argue that they had some good, quality depth last year, especially defensively. Huber, Van Fossen, Briggs, Pace, these guys are stepping in and will play a lot more this year than they did last.
