We're going to have to grow our own. And it's probably going to come in the form of more than one player. We'll upgrade the rotation with 2-3 players. For example, Tapper, some moderately priced VFA castoff like Calais Campbell or somebody like that, and then our first round pick and probably another DL somewhere in rounds 2-4.
The other area where improvement will come from, depending what we do at DB, is just by improving the press coverage overall and then blitzing more effectively like we did the last month of the season over the course of the entire year. Especially if Jaylon Smith gets in the lineup and we have options for underneath coverage. I'm surprised we didn't bring pressure from the WIL more than we did, already. That was something they were looking at Shazier for before PIT took him, and I keep expecting them to do it with Lee in the lineup. We might also bring in DBs who have some skill with blitzing to pair with Scandrick and Heath who both seem to have a knack for it.
Either way, it's going to be a process of incremental improvement. Had Lawrence not been derailed and Gregory not been a mess, we'd be developing our young pass rush in it's prime right now. As it is, we're kind of stuck spending more resources on it than we probably want to. But it's got to happen.
