In fact we're actually pretty good there. Whaley said that they had 2 players in mind when they traded up while Jax was on the clock, with Watkins being rater higher, given that I doubt the other player was Blake Bortles, im assuming it was Mack. If we were going to trade up for defense, the one who really fits a possible need was Clowney but we're not giving up what the Texans wanted. Right now those linebackers I listed back up a D-line built in the mold of Seattle with Mario, Dareus, Kyle and Branch (who rotates out with Hughes on passing downs). That is a loaded Front 7 with some a solid group of CB's and a very promising safety in Aaron Williams. The only question mark for me besides some depth on this defense is how Searcy and Duke will fill in for Byrd. Defense is loaded, offense is where we needed help. I'd be shocked if we dont go TE and OT/OG in these next few rounds possibly using SJ13 to move up/get another pick. We no have a Top 3 backfield with Spiller/FJax/Dixon (short yardage back). Our offensive line can use some help but lets not act like its anything worse than average. LT and C are set, RG is solid and like it or not, the staff went out and got Chris Williams for LG thinking we can tap into his first round talent. RT is where we could use an upgrade but this offensive line is average right now before any possible additions and average does not scream for attention although we should and I think will address it. If we can somehow get ASF to pair with Chandler then our offense goes to beastmode, we definitely need another Tight End outside of Chandler unless the staff thinks Gragg/Moeaki are those guys. How can you not LOVE a WR unit of Watkins and Williams on the outside, Woods in the slot and Goodwin taking the top off? That WR unit is nasty with speed and talent for days. This team is playoff ready in every facet aside from QB. EJ was never projected to step in and dominate, but he was projected to be the most talented QB in the 2013 Draft and be a guy who after some time could be that guy. That time is now and he has the defense, and weapons to step up. [/QUOTE]
