Biggest problem with defense this season

Let's not fool ourselves to think that we're better than we are on the defensive line.  The front office is a mess but it's their job to get this roster in position to take that defensive lineman if they are the best available player instead of a lesser player at a need position.

We are pretty good on the defensive line though especially when Lawson comes back. I could see us drafting an edge and a 3 T later in the draft but first might be slightly early for that. Although I will say I would love to get Dremont Jones or ED Oliver if there. Also love Allen as a prospect.
