1) Early last season our DL was hit hard by the injury bug, Rankins, Hill, Jackson and Jenkins
2) Dax and Turner go down, season ending injuries
3) Wilson goes on IR
4) A lot of Rookies were getting a lot playing time, they showed they were rookies, but played well down the stretch
5) Slaton is being way underrated on here. Led the league for DTs for run stopping percentage
6) We will add some very good talent in the draft.

I believe this D will end up better than last year

I agree. One variable that will matter the most is Golden, and what improvements he can bring to the scheme, playcalling, culture, etc. to the defense. If he can get them all on the same page early on, then by default this defense should be better simply because they were so bad for most of last season.
