First, the focus is now exclusively on Abbas and Andrews. And, within that, we want to see Andrews add to PA and Abbas to ID, and both increase HA/DR. This would be the program for two seasons, and then we'd have a draft. Here's what Ai thinks may happen:

DR/HA: +1 to +2 levels each.
Marcus Andrews (6'4"):
PA: +2 to +3 levels (Targeting 11/12 Prolific+)
ID: +1 level (Targeting 9 Proficient)
DR/HA: ...
