nuklz2594 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 with the draft all done, how much will our defense improve? can we be respectable and move up say 10 spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 with the draft all done, how much will our defense improve? can we be respectable and move up say 10 spots? I think it will improve noticeably this year, with the overall D taking a BIG step up in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishP Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 with the draft all done, how much will our defense improve? can we be respectable and move up say 10 spots? Defensively, yeah i think we could move up 10 spots i think we were 28th last year so that shouldn't be to hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 With some of the injured players returning, plus this draft, I think we're out of the Andrew Luck derby.

jr1 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I think the draftees, possible free agents and Dave Wannstedt will be a big help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I envision 4 "good" future starters on defense: Dareus, Williams, Sheppard and Searcy. In the past, we've drafted starters, that weren't necessarily good. Big improvement. Can also see Hairston as a future starter. If he get focused in the weightroom and the kitchen, I see another "good" starter, hopefully on the left side. I was a bit dissapointed when I saw Williams' name as our pick, but with the depth of Lbs in round 3-4, it totally made sense to land a 6'1 CB with a 1st round grade. Well played draft Buddy and co.
