What makes me most OPTIMISTIC about the defense is the depth and talent up front: Reader, Ogunjobi, Hendrickson, Hubbard, and then you have some speed off the edge with Ossai.
What makes me the most PESSIMISTIC is the LB corps. I love what I saw in Wilson, but Pratt regressed and I could see a huge hole in nickel when Pratt is asked to cover, unless he gets back on track and shows why they drafted him. STILL hoping for a veteran LB to be signed that still has speed to start over Pratt.
The good news is off ball LB is still the least impactful position on a defense, so if there is a place to be weak at it's LB. That said, the LB crew isn't abysmal like we have seen in the past and somewhere around average is good enough to not really hurt the defense as a whole.
