    That's a pretty solid defense right here on paper. Really the only 2 improvements we can make in the starting line up now is along the DL, realistically. We can go after Wilfork even though there's a slim chance or draft a NT in the mid rounds. Also we could upgrade at LE. Through draft or free agency. I still want Mariota or trade but adding Leonard Williams would make this unit pretty good. With Lebeau and Horton handling the defense I think we'll see the players improve regardless. We're another upgrade and some depth moves away from actually having a real defense.

    Would like to go after Brandon Spikes as well. Need another guy good against the run and if Brown or Williamson go down I prefer not to have to rely on Woodyard.

    I agree with a lot that you say and I do like what we are doing on defense although my only objection to upgrading defense is that this league is based on offense. Last year our O was terrible in TOP therefore our D was always on the field and that will not win you games. I was hoping for some major changes on offense but I am afraid that will not happen at this point. If we start going 3 and out on offense I hope this defense can hold or it will be just as long regular season as last year was!

    I'm thinking we could be a Top-10 defense next year with Dick. If we stay healthy, Brian Orakpo is an elite pass-rusher, pair up with Morgan, Casey, & Leonard Williams we'll have a solid pass rush. We all know McCourty is solid, and Perrish Cox is decent - their nothing to brag about, but Cox is light years ahead of BWW. Searcy is an up and coming player, and SS is a spot to shine in LeBeaus D. Dick is known for taking young players and developing them.. we will have Casey, DaQuan Jones, Mike Martin, Zach Brown, Zaviar Gooden, Avery Williamson, BWW, Sensabaugh, and Huff all 25 or younger. If he can coach these guys to the next level, we'd be special.

    We don't need to go into the year with Pito penciled in as anything more than rotational. Guy gets gassed as the game goes on, while a consistent offense will help that, having a capable sub would do wonders. Depth is still a gigantic issue for this football team and why I still think LW is still our target.

    Barring a good trade offer, it looks as if LW is the present choice the way the off-season has been directed thus far.

    With all the attention we're spending on the defense, that leads me to believe we're upgrading the offense through the draft. They could still go Leonard Williams in the 1st and then go offense the next 3 rounds if they wanted to. Considering we filled so many holes in FA so far (outside RT), we could honestly just go BPA in every round and I would be fine with it.
