What think ye?
On a somewhat related note, how do we keep having so many holes going into every season? How come we keep not closing them?
I would actually say the secondary, encompassing the safeties and CBs. They have really good first line starters at CB in Dre, Adam, Dennard and quality depth in WJIII (still an unknown, but my fav of the group) and a swing man in Josh Shaw. I also really like the safeties in Iloka, D. Smith, Fej, Williams (although he is cast poorly as a center fielder).
This is one of the only position groups where if a starter went down, I would see little to no drop off. In fact, I would like to see a lot more of Derron Smith starting over Williams except in obvious rushing downs. I could also see Josh Shaw starting at Safety or moving Dennard to one of the outside CB positions to replace Dre or Adam Jones if injured. WJIII has me really excited because I believe that he will be a ball-hawk. Love his skill set and how he makes plays.
