8. The future looks even brighter when you consider the plight of the team's secondary? Some solid camp bodies for 2017 but even with CB returning one issue stood out more than anything to me. Height and/or athleticism is lacking and it is a huge concern that needs to be addressed especially in our division.

Exactly. I would have to go after another DT or NT before I go after a DE and all of our CB are made of glass it seems. I look for us to take a CB real early in the draft and shore the backend up with a good FA. MLB needs to be adressed.
