[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 783748, member: 857"] DB there is a lot of 4-star talent out there (Sims, King, Brooks, Allen, Watson, Edwards). And a lot of guys who have played a lot of snaps (Thomas, Carpenter, Swilling, Oliver, Walton, Thomas). Huff, Kenan Johnson, & Wes Walker have all played/been ATL/are promising. As with Charlie Thomas you could use Juanyeh, Tariq, or Derrik Allen as spys on mobile QBs. Note that we now have DBs who signed with Michigan, Notre Dame and Texas in our defensive backfield. To me it looks like a lot of guys will be ATL and there will be massive competition for PT. We should have some pretty good depth at DB. With an improved pass rush I think this unit has a great year. All-in-all I see the defense making some big strides this year due to much better depth, a pass rush that should be able to hurry QBs, and a good group of DBs. I'd say LB and DT are the thinnest units and we may be susceptible to teams that run hard right at you.
