All we're doing now is ensuring we keep the top end players at a much higher price.
We added a couple marginal free agents. Maybe the run defense is better? But, we need pass rush. We need coverage.
And...as unfortunate as it is, guys will get hurt. Don't know who, but it will happen.
Right now, were counting on Ossai and Murphy...and I don't know that's wise.
Would you agree any team losing 2 starting CB's would struggle in coverage?
I agree with you, but hopefully we don't see the massive injury issues we saw at both CB and also DT. We lost Rankins and Hill in the same game. Jackson and Jenkins also missed time last year. So, we had all 4 top DT's injured and 2 were rookies. I love the Slayton addidtion and I am bullish on our now 2nd year DT's for 2025.
I do agree also, I would love to see us sign a proven pass rusher to use on 3rd down.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
