We still have a lot of holes, but other than RG, LB, or CB2, the starters seem OK and it more of a depth problem.
Though we will have to see. A lot of our starters have not played a down in stripes yet (Chase, Reiff, Carman, Waynes, Awuzie, Hilton, Hendrickson, Ogunjobi) and some others had severe injuries last year or came in late & missed camp (Burrow, Reader, Uzomah, Hopkins, XSF/Spain). That's 13 of 22. Plus Higgins & L. Wilson were rookies.
A lot of the depth guys are also rookies/2nd year guys or in their 1st year here, or were out last year (Ossai, C. Sample, Shelvin, Evans, ADG, Bailey, Apple, Tupou, Wren, R. Allen, etc).
Point being, in a lot of areas, we are not sure what we have & what we need yet. Some guys will do better than expected, some worse. Hopefully, as camp goes along, we will get a better idea.
But we still have cap space and other teams will cut guys for cap reasons. Bank on it. We need to pounce on a couple. Our WR #4-#6 are replacement level, special team level guys.
