i agree but in no way should the defense get to add so many players. offense first and if there is room at the table later defense can have the scraps.

Disagree a bit Hagan. The offense needs O-line interior upgrades which typically are cheaper than most other positions.

The defense needs a #2 CB, OLB (2) and D-Line.

Cap wise, I'd estimate the upgrades need to be about 60% Defense, 40% Offense.

Agree with your disagreement except to add 1 more for Defense (interior Linebacking). Don't you think our ILBs are unable to stop the run?

Tackles are made downfield, not in the hole. When they try to stop a run in the hole, they instead run right into the trash.

Hawthorne is surely gone, but Lofton's tackle numbers mislead but don't obscure the fact our run defense is at bottom of the league. Any run defense doing so poorly should look at MLB/ILBs (and/or NT/DL).
