Every year I get caught up in our own acquisitions and fail to perceive accurately how other teams have evolved or which teams have potential.
I went back to find last year post free agency power rankings and it's really amazing to see how different the perceptions were back then and how the season took unexpected turns for many teams (Giants, Raiders, Cowboys were all contenders, Rams and Jags were snobbed)
Now I know power rankings are not universaly liked or agreed on but I think we can reasonably say that they quite accurately put teams in their generally perceived tier. Last years the Eagles were #19, the Vikings were #22, things turned out differently

This Year : http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...ngs-vikings-rams-rising-via-free-agencytrades
Now our free agency was truly special this year, but let's keep in mind that only 5 out of last years top 18 teams made the playoffs. Off season is not over and every season is different.
