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.  

I stay away from Fuller, just too much injury history... waste of $$ for a 4th WR who will barely see meaningful snaps.. I actually think Trent Taylor fits well as 4th WR , he adds more options with motion, slot WR type.. he had a good 1st preseason and has shown he is dependable ..
