As hawks fans we all see WR and OLINE as HUGE NEEDS and Im not going to address them atm. Cb is on peoples minds mainly because of the sb but its not as bad as most people think. Otherwise for this year the majority is very happy and comfortable with the roster.
I purpose to you that you SHOULDNT BE.
The strength of our defense starts with our young secondary, we have them all locked up and healing there is no worries outside of Lane and Tharold + the depth.
Next the LB's. We love Wagz we will lock him up, KJ is decent and can shine to great at times or lets the chargers school him like a 1st grader. Irvin could be gone and is peaking - his age is a consideration... KPL was coming along nicely.
It really seems to befuddle me how so many fans are resting on the laurels of the DLINE.
Our teams montra is always compete. Not be great and expect it to continue without bringing in more competition. In 2016 we could see Williams, Mebane, Rubin, Mcdaniel, Dobbs, King All gone by cuts or contracts ending. THAT IS OUR MEAT.
Not too mention the age of avril and bennett. Our oldest area of our team is the Dline, and that is where we need to get youngest ASAP.
Do you trust Scruggs? Marsh? (Optomistic!) J.Williams? too keep our defense ELITE? J.hill was showing his stuff but he is basically the only young Dline we have seen anything from that was capable of being a core player. Depending on how Rubin does I would like to resign him.
At some point we are going to move on from the mainstays of the ELITE DEFENSE that Carroll has assembled. The regime has been trying. We have spent a lot of picks on Dline players that were hurt or just havent panned out. We need to hit NOW, otherwise after this year there will be a noticeable dropoff.
TLDR version: If your not drafting at least 1 DT in your mocks your doing it wrong.
