We do need to bolster our defense, but remember, we have Kawaan Short coming back healthy, and we have Brian Burns who led the team in sacks last year. We have Shaq who outplayed Luke Kuechly last season. We now have Derrick Brown. We still have Christian Miller who is a pretty solid linebacker. We have Chris Smith as a new DE who has spent time with the Browns, Bengals, and Jaguars. We signed Stephen Weatherly who was a 7th round pick by the Vikings four years ago.
All of these guys (except Brown) are more proven than anyone we could draft. Does that mean to say I think we have BETTER than we could draft? No, but I honestly don't think we need to spend EIGHT PICKS on DEFENSE. That's crazy talk.
Good points, ..... However.....
Remember, most of the FA support we have received was to bolster our Offense.... Our Offense has few needs (in comparison..)
AND...our Defense was far worse..... SO... eight picks = NO. But at least five (and they need to be GOOD...!!)
