Yes, I'm saying that even with Star and Kuechly, we have major holes at safety and defensive end. We are top 15. Maybe even to ten, but we are not an elite defense from what I saw today. 

What you saw today was 5 sacks, 2 turnovers, 9 points allowed, and 6 points scored. Sure its vs the Jags but it would be hard to ask for anything much better from any team. Especially with their leader and best defensive player missing the second half. Also the only TD they scored was right after luke went down and the defense was a little lost right after that. If you dont think having our best D-lineman and best MLB in the NFL back is gonna make a difference you are surely mistaken.

I didn't say it wouldn't make a difference, I'm saying that we're still not elite.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
