Now, you have virtually every piece back (save Ogunjobi for Hill), you add Ossai, a healthy Kareem, some intriguing rookies to the defensive line (Carter, Gunter) and the line has solid depth and a lot of potential. The LB play was excellent for most of last season when Wilson was healthy. They also added depth and SPEED in the secondary, with Hill and Anderson.
Add all this up and mix in another year under Lou with guys that have bought in and shown they can execute his scheme and you have a really solid unit.
That is why my final piece of the puzzle would be Will Fuller for depth and speed at the WR position.
Definitely feel much more confident in the Defense this year myself. We shown we can stop the run and that is a start. We
shown we can rush the passer with our starters, we just need guys like Ossai, Kareem, Hubert or Gunter to show up behind
Trey and Sam and this could be a top 10 Defense easily. Like you said about the Linebackers and Secondary, they are pretty
damn stacked as long as they aren't decimated with injuries. ADG I expect to come out of nowhere this season.
Need Zach Carter to show up behind BJ Hill and the DT group stays extremely deep even without Ogunjobi who is coming
off of injury with the stoolpitt.
We got pro ready rookies in Dax Hill and CTB in my eyes too, if someone goes down I actually have confidence in these guys
unlike usual with rookies.
No to Fuller as Stewy here says. Stewy has talked me out of him as he watched him tons with the Texans.
If DeDe Westbrook is available I still would like him much more if he is healthy. Fits what we need, speed, experience, better
hands than Fuller and can be a Returner for us to if need be. I think Lassiter might be decent for us but I agree, bringing in a
speedster after cuts sure would help my mind behind our top 3 WR's.

The ignorant fascination with his speed, while ignoring his stone hands and injury history, really just baffles me.
Yeah, he isn't on my mind anymore after what you said about him. We need a guy who can stay somewhat healthy and
catch the damn ball. This eliminates Will Fuller.
