I don't consider Sheppard a huge void at all. Dawkins was a tough loss though, I'll give you that. I just think that they've enough to compensate for it. They signed Jones to replace Dawkins, upgraded their offensive line with Peters and Andrews, got themselves a real between-the-tackled sort of runner and added another wideout to the stable.
I could be wrong. I could change my mind in the next 4+ months.... it's early.
