Defense is two starters away from being very good.

Boston is fine. His tackling issues wouldn’t be so obvious with a competent MLB. Boston should’ve had that interception at the end of the first half and those are the plays he has to make.
 

I actually think our biggest need is an end to pair with Burns. Burns is special and he’s literally our entire pass rush

I think we need another 1-2 DLs.  Our front 4 is struggling at creating constant pressure.  I do not mind getting another top DT who can bull rush.

We have two high impact rookies on the line, one of which didn't play yesterday. Rarely do rookies get pressure. But they do show the type of potential that gets them there relatively quickly, as soon as next season. 

As is, I'd say our defensive line can be very good with the personnel currently on the team.

Middle Linebacker. 

Free Safety.

 

If these two positions can be upgraded this offseason, this defense will rank top 10 for many years. I a not even talking superstars at FS and MLB. I am just talking average starters in the NFL. That would be a huge step up. 

Also need some depth

I would like to add another DT though Kerr and whoever else was in rotation yesterday vastly out performed anything Short has done for years.

MLB is the biggest need. The first time we have said that in like 15 years or more.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
