Outlook of our front 7

In the draft besides Mark Ingram and Johnny Patrick, all the other picks were there to address our front 7, My question to everyone else is, do you think we have successfully done this with the depth we have at each position now.

D-Line - Alex Brown, Jimmy Wilkerson, Shaun Rogers, Will Smith (4 Game suspension), Junior Gallette, Sedrick Ellis, Jeff Charleston, Anthony Hargrove, Cameron Jordan (Rookie) Greg Romeus (Rookie)

Now from that list, we can see we have great depth on the D line, which we need due to Will Smith most likely to be suspended for the first 4 games. Possibly taking his spot in that time could be Jeff Charleston who works best in a rotation as everyone knows.
Alex Brown needs to be replaced, i really don't think he can offer us much anymore, I'm hoping Cameron Jordan and Greg Romeus will both split time there to be groomed into starters.

Linebackers - Stanley Arnoux, Jonathan Vilma, Scott Shanle, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Danny Clark, Martez Wilson (Rookie) Kawika Mitchell, Jonathan Casillas, Marvin Mitchell

Looking at that list (please tell me if i've forgot anyone) We have pretty good depth however;
Stanley Arnoux - Injury Prone
Scott Shanle -.......Need i say more
Jo-Lonn Dunbar - Seems to be extremely inconsistent, can be excellent at Run stopping and poor at other times
Danny Clark - Pretty solid guy but is aging and we need an injection of Youth at the position
J.Casillas - Pin pointed to be the starter last season after an excellent preseason, injury hit him and he was lost for the season.
Marvin Mitchell - Okay in a rotation, But still learning and JV is way too good to be replaced.

I'm hoping Martez Wilson will show us something, that means he can be the starter at OLB, he looks to be a great pass rusher and he is a physical beast for the position, I can't wait to see what he does in preseason.

Please let me know what you all think about our current status in our Front 7
