Akeem Davis Gather and Cam Taylor Britt will have huge impact on this defense.

There’s depth at every position aside from defensive end, but I look for that to be addressed in the draft

I agree to some extent that we do have depth at some positions, but we are not deep at RB, offensive line, nor linebacker. Don't think anyone can argue that we do! Could also argue QB, if we do trade Richardson.

I like the TE depth, i am actually ok with the wide receivers, people seem to think we need to draft someone fairly high, but i am ok with redistributing the ball amongst our receiving corps. I am expecting bigger things from Pierce, Downs and Warren. We could then do with Dulin, NWI, and the lower depth guys to contribute a little more than they did last year. The depth at DE is fairly good, but we need a starter to replace Kwaye's role. At corner i think we could end up trading away a couple of guys for picks, Jones, Blackmon potentially. We would still have Gardner, Ward, Moore, Walley, Britt-Taylor, with Mitchell as the No. 6 guy and i really liked some of what i saw out of Edwards, another year and he could develop into something worth keeping. I am also ok with the safety position. Do i think we have upgraded the loss of Cross, no, but i do like the fact that we have Wohler, Thomas, Owens and Scott, the Colts also felt good enough to keep Lowery on the 53 man roster throughout the entire season, so they must see something in him that they like.
