Looks a heck of a lot better than it did at the end of last season. We still could do with some more pass rush help, but that might have to wait until next year, can't fix everything in one year, although i think we have gone quite a long way towards doing just that.
We have a definite new starters at:
NT Hankins who is a clear upgrade.
OLB's Sheard and Simon who should be at least as productive as what we had last year and with the other additions should as a whole be improved.
ILB's Spence/Walker will hopefully be an improvement on D'Qwell Jackson, especially in coverage.
FS Hooker, should be an upgrade over the declining Adams.
CB Wilson should hopefully be a steady starter, and be an improvement on Melvin, who can be the depth corner that he really should have been last year.
Offensively we are not likely to upgrade any starters, but the depth with Aiken at WR and Mack as a complimentary speed back, should hopefully be an upgrade. And the offensive line with an additional year of experience from last years rookies, should see an improvement there.
