The last two years we ranked 29th and 32nd in defense. I felt we had a lot of talent that was underachieving, but with those results we definitely needed more than just "minor adjustments".
I am not sure Waynes and Alexander will be big upgrades over Kirkpatrick and Dennard, but both Dre and Darquez have not been able to stay healthy. Bynes is a career backup who I don't see as a big help.
But Reader and Bell should have big impacts, so if one of the rookies LB can play well as a rookie the defense should be MUCH better.
