This is a position where you need at least four good starters and strong depth down to fifth or even sixth corner.

We currently have two.

Adam Jones and Dre Kirkpatrick look to be decent starters. Leon Hall has not played well in preseason after struggling last season and tbh looks like a liability. We simply don't know what were have with the currently injured Darqueze Dennard and beyond that we have two rookies in Josh Shaw and Troy Hill - neither of whom have looked comfortable in preseason - and the ever mediocre Chris Lewis-Harris.

I'm terrified of an injury to Adam Jones right now, and you should be, too.  This is the one position I could see us improving prior to week one through trade or picking up someone else's cuts.

I disagree with your assessment.

With out Burfict, the LB's are far and away our weakest. I think Dawson might emerge from this group, but no one else is really all around good. Don't get me wrong, they all seem to have their specialties that gives them some value, but they don't bring a complete package to the table like Burfict does.
