CB - Hobbs,Samuel,Gay,Starks
S - Wilson,Sanders,G. Scott
You may not like Starks, but he is at least as good as Poteat who he replaces. So, I believe that the 2006 defense should be even better than 2006 by just bringing back the injured. I presume that Poole will be cut in February.
We would then add a couple of special teamer db's, perhaps Hawkins and Stone to complete the squad.

POTENTIAL UPGRADES TO THE ABOVE 23
Who would you upgrade?
I'd just sign Law to replace Stone or G. Scott), a backup NT to replace Klecko. That really isn't much to ask from free agancy and the draft.
BOTTOM LINE
The defense could use a top corner and backup NT. They also could do without, and still improve. The ENTIRE offseason needs to be focused on the offense.
The defense will help out by having McGinist and perhaps Starks restructure. Poole will be gone. The special teams will have Vinitieri extend.
====================================================
I SHOULD ADD PRACTICE SQUAD PLAYERS WHO WILL BE BACK
All these have potential to make the bottom few roster spots
