DE-Lawrence, Aldon*, Gregory, Armstrong, Anae, Crawford*, Carter
Aldon Smith is a player the team has already stated they would like to resign. Crawford's contract finally off the books and he will most likely not return in any capacity.
DT-Hill, Gallimore, Woods*
Woods didn't sign his contract until very late, which suggests he a) wasn't happy with the restricted amount or b) his role as being more of a backup with the Poe signing. c) both. I don't believe he returns next season. Front Office probably needs to double dip in this area of need, sign at least 1 veteran starter through fa and draft 1-2 more.
LB-Lve, Jaylon, Lee*, Thomas*
Can Lve be dependable to stay healthy? Does Jaylon need to be replaced now? Is Lee career about over? Major question marks throughout this group. Need to sign a veteran capable of starting if called upon. Need a future starter in the draft, along with depth at the position.
CB-Diggs, Brown, Awuzie*, Lewis*, Canady
With the expected departures of Awuzie/Lewis, there is a need for a future starter and depth at the position.
S-Woods*, Wilson, Thompson, Robinson
Woods hasn't done enough to warrant an extension. Wilson looks like a starter for this team next yr. Thompson is most likely going to be released. We have no idea where Robinson is in his development. Fa starter, future starter is needed.
As we see wholesale changes are needed on every level. What is a realistic expectation of defensive turnover for next season?
-2 stop-gap fa starters, probably at DT & S
-1 to 2 plug and play impact starters (if picking in top 10)
-1 to 2 future starters
I believe it is realistic to expect 4 new defensive starters on opening night next season with the possibility of more late in the season. Of coarse, they need to hit on whom ever they either sign or draft.
