I know we always talk about offense, but I have absolutely loved what I am seeing from the defense since the Sweat arrival. This secondary specifically has an opportunity to be elite with maybe a change at FS (sorry Eddie). Same with this defensive line as well as it seems like we are missing one good edge player as Sweat, Dexter, and Billings have played great. What players via draft or free agency would make this upcoming defense really good or elite?

    Jer’zahn Newton at 3 tech, possibly another Edge and as much as I’ve been a supporter of Eddie Jackson, a FS would be welcomed. I honestly think this defense is 3-5 pieces from being great.

    3 tech, edge rush, better safety depth/competition for both starters, resign JJ and grab some upside depth.

    If we get a better starter at those two key DL positions and more rotational depth in the secondary to keep everyone fresh we could really be playing lights out

    Fuck an elite defensive end. They are desperate for a Tommie Harris like 3 tech. If they land even a borderline pro bowl 3 tech you could put a bum on the opposite side of sweat and he’ll get 7 sacks.

    Add a serviceable replacement for an aging Eddie Jackson and you’ve got a top tier defense
