Finding a rookie edge to start and be productive year 1 (Big Ask) or a wave 2 FA pass rusher to give us 8+ sacks (Fair).

I am actually probably less of a doomsday person about the D than most here as I think a functional veteran opposite of Trey like Za'Darius Smith would give us enough pass rush help along with an ascending Ossai to be average there. I think the guys coming back can give us good enough coverage to be okay. I even think the two interior guys flashed enough later in the year to feel okay. The thing that REALLY bothers me is not doing anything at safety when Holland was had for a super affordable deal. We will see, but one thing to remember is we don't need to go from god awful to good with this team we just need to go from god awful to average and we can win a LOT of games.

My guess is they feel they can get a guy in the draft at safety.
