If Joyner, Fowler, Barron and Suh are gone. Not too far fetched, and if I gave odds, I would set Fowler's at the best to return.
So that leaves a hole at S, ILB, DT and Edge
I think there are 3 S in the draft that can start right away and you are going to need to draft them in round 1 to get 1.
I think there are 3 ILBers in the draft that can start at any point and you will need to grab one by the middle of round 2.
There are Edge guys that could rotate with who we have all over the draft.
DT is not nearly as deep as it was due to some drug suspensions (Lawrence) and a couple of guys going back to school. But you can grab a run plugger all thru the draft.
The 3 S:
Nasir Adderley - an FCS kid, but a stud.
Deionte Thompson - A rough NCG hasn't moved me off him.
Chauncey Gardener-johnson - I think he could be had early to middle 1st. But he can line up everywhere on the field.
The 3 ILBers:
Devin White - outside a trade up, he is long gone
Mack Wilson - Another ALabama guy and the best cover backer in the draft and a smart ILBer in run support.
Devin Bush - a 2nd rounder I think, an undersized sideline to sideline missile.
I am leaning towards Wilson or Adderley/Thompson right now. (that will change) unless one of a few guys drop:
Christian Wilkins - a perfect pairing with AD on the D line
Montez Sweat - a long, angular edge rusher with a "first guy of the bus" body.
