They just have replacements for Lawson, WJ3, and Alexander. They still could use two more DL, and possibly a LB. Unless you have faith Atkins will get back to his old self and the LBs taking that next step in preseason.

Improving this defense was not something that was going to happen this off season. That will only happen with recovery from injuries. They have a lot of money on the defense right now. Replacing what was leaving and hoping Reader, Atkins, Waynes and Tupou come back and produce while Wilson, ADG and Pratt continue to develop is the way to improve this defense.

They still need a pass rusher, which we can get in the draft. But my point is this free agency period tells me "OT/OT in rounds 1 and 2"
