I think Patrick and Fairchild will be good in pass pro. But I think not addressing safety was a huge miss. The offense is strong. The WR position group excellent and RB improved.

Again, Golden's scheme and philosophy is different than Lou's. Maybe Stone and Battle will fit better. I do agree there are holes still, but you can only do so much in 1 off season. I still believe this D doesn't have to be great but average and this team will be back in the playoff picture again.
I think Hendrickson will be extended and Shemar, I couldn't care less about him.

If the pass pro is improved and the defense we will be in the mix with Buffalo,KC, and Balt. But I don’t think they helped the defense much.
