We also have Onyemata and Tyeler Davison in addition to Sheldon Rankins at DT. By adding Davenport at the other DE it is going to help free up the middle. As for linebacker, the addition of Mario Davis could very well be more important than any LB we could have drafted. We still have A.J. Klien, who looked great, as well as Anzalone, Te'o, Craig Robertson, Stupar, Mauti and Kikaha on the squad. There is a lot of speed in that group. And don't forget we have DL coach Ryan Neilsen and LB coach Mike Nolan now in their second year.![]()
What we really needed more was depth on the offensive line and improvement to the special teams. Those more dire needs were very well addressed. |
