Tyree Robinson* at least goes to PS / adding a FA is likely

that's 25 D players (10 DL / 6 LBs / 9 DBs) with an average age of 24.6

IMO, the 17 or 18 (in bold) have serious play making ability - this bunch can create some havoc

Pretty much agree

other possibilities
at LB, I wonder if they keep Covington over March-Lillard, though seems March-Lillard stood out more than Covington. But he is a draft pick, and this team, right of wrong, loves to keep their draft picks.

Will be a few tough decisions on that DL. Agree with what you have.
But could Ward be out, and one of the players on your list on the last line be in there instead to replace Price or Ward? Doubtful, but many seem to be down on Ward, but that is normal for fans to think that. Since he has not stood out as some thinks he should. But we aren't there to see him every day in his his assignments, just a handful of PS game plays.

That last DB spot will be a tough one as well, but I can see a S claimed off waivers there, if not a trade. And no, I don't think it will be ET.
