Sure, but we are greatly improved at the safety position.

We have replaced Hawkins ith Byard.

Woodson has a year of experience.

We have brought back incumbent #3 safety Pettus.

We have brought in Brown and Saunders to compete for a possible #4 S/ST position.

Also, I believe a couple of the draftees can play emergency reps at safety since they have played that postiion in the past.

Looking at the net differences since our January run (just the significant ones):

Edge: Jones via FA, Jacas via draft, Landry from IR; no Chaisson = big upgrade
Safety: Byard via FA; no Hawkins = upgrade
Tackle: Lomu & Crownover via draft, healthier Campbell; no Lowe & Mumford = upgrade
Center: moved Wilson to C, no Bradbury = upgrade
Guard: Vera-Tucker via FA, instead of Wilson = big upgrade
TE: Hill via FA, Raridon via draft; no Hooper = big upgrade
RB: Jam Miller via draft, Gilliam via FA, Larison from IR = big upgrade
WR: Doubs via FA; no Diggs = upgrade (+ possible AJ Brown)
DT: lost Tonga = slight downgrade
ILB: slight downgrade
QB, CB, ST's = about the same

I do think that the downgrade from Tonka to Gregory is more than slight. Ditto regarding Gibbens to Britt.

Muma was a R3 pick, Britt a R5 pick. Both have bounced around a bit. Muma has been here longer and is more athletic, so I expect he is the Gibbons replacement.

In any case, Britt should make the 53

I actually think QB and ST will take a moderate step forward this year. DT and ILB is far more worrying to me than you.

At DT depth you have Davis, Gregory, farmer.. all 3 played well last season. Farmer was coming on then he got an ankle injury last season.. Davis is solid! At LB your starters are healthy entering the season.. add in Obiazor and a mix of depth with Muma and Britt.. unless we add.. say Devin white.. probably the guys we are starting the season with.
