I'd say 4 players would do it. One player in each postional group. It's not like we are a void of talent. Just need some performing veterans in there.

Just a another good DT, couple DE's, a MLB, an OLB a S or 2, and another starting caliber CB.  No big deal.

In no order

1-2 corner

1 mlb

2 olb

1 edge

1 safety

 

Now I guess there is talk they can move chinn up for a hybridish lb role so then we would need more safety help.  And you can certainly argue that we need more dtackle help but IMO its not that imperative yet.

Cory Littleton played every game this year and I don't think I ever heard his name called.  He's one of the quieter talents I've ever seen at the LB spot for us.

A couple of questions:

Why 2 corners?
Why 2 OLBs?
Is it 1 edge and still 2 OLBs?

I dont trust DJ and henderson sucks and he might be cut.  Also there is the fact that Horn, freak injuries or not, hasnt played close to a full season yet

Shaq is probably gone after this year and we need another depth piece as well

1 edge to either play with burns or rotate in.  We just need more depth overall on the line

 

but like I said the new staff may change chinns position, he didnt have a great year

I trust DJ coming back from the injury. I am concerned about CJ and Keith though. As for Shaq, I think he returns on a heavily discounted contract.  I agree with edge and I think we need a ball hawking safety. 

This is the way I see it:

Horn, CB2, DJ
ILB, Luvu, B. Smith, Shaq
Burns, Edge, YGM, Barno
Safety, Woods (maybe FA)

Chinn somewhere in there. So 4 total players and I do expect a mix of FAs plus draft prospects.  I wouldnt spend capital on another corner bc im afraid of a Horn injury. Too soon for that.

Derrick Brown had a career year. I wonder if he turned it around or was Rhule holding him back?

Lol, Burns couldn't even beat Henry Anderson out for PFF grade. A guy I don't think any of us knew was on the roster the first month or 2 of the season...
