I'll go ahead and say it. Geno's better days are likely behind him. This has nothing to do with hate, Geno is one of my all time favs. But it's probably time to find his replacement and at a minimum rotate Geno a bunch. I have hope for Pratt but in no way am I convinced he's a stud LBer, yet ! 

We need help in the D front 7 and a good bit of it - period ! Worst defense in the NFL vs. run

Exactly, and I am not "hating" on guys like Geno, but pointing out that the unit as a whole has a long way to go.  Do I think a few key additions could make them very competitive?  Yes.  However, those additions would likely have to be free agents rather than hoping you draft and develop the right players exclusively.  We can all see what happens when you whiff on a few drafts.
