You also have Jenkins and Jackson getting playing time their rookie year and I would expect they will be better too having a season under their belt. Jackson missed most of training camp and started the season on IR so you also have to consider that when looking at his progress this year. I do think we need to add a pass rushing DE and a good DT to the defensive line. If there is a proven CB out there maybe you take a look. A new DC with a fresh perspective could help as well. I think the defense could be much improved next year.
I think the young guys in the secondary getting snaps after the injuries helps as well. Not saying that Newton, Wilson and Ivey are world-beaters, just that having a little more experience down the depth chart might be a benefit.
I'll never be surprised to see this team draft or sign a cb. It's always been a priority position for them.
