Defensive line has to be the pick in the 1st. Outside of Hendrickson we generated very little pass rush. How many times did we watch the opposing offense have all day to throw the ball? That makes it very hard on your secondary and I'm sure it played a part in some of their struggles last year. We absolutely need to improve the pass rush and so far in free agency we haven't done that. Slaton isn't going to help that area of need so what you would counting on is Jenkins/Jackson making a big leap or Ossai/Murphy. I don't know if you can hang you hopes on that happening. If those guys dont significantly improve, you are looking at another potential subpar year from the defense. An elite safety or even CB could help but if you can improve the pass rush, that helps everyone on defense. I think the pick is DL but it wouldn't surprise me if it were safety.
