I love the draft from a skillset position, but guys, we're looking at Ya-Sin competing for a starting spot (not given) and Banogu/Okereke being rotational players. Everyone else (on defense) is depth with potential and bolsters special teams play. Let's just be careful about expecting much from Speed, Tell etc. this year.
I think the upside is more: special teams +++, a few guys allow them to be more multiple in packages, and this team can now maybe survive a 2-3 week Darius Leonard absence if need be. I don't think this is a top 10 defense yet, especially facing the QBs they will. Maybe next year, if players develop!
