That would have to be a really significant upgrade to climb to middle of the pack especially with Lee out and your rookie OLB out for 2 months. But the Saints sure turned it around quick. Remember how god awful they were not that long ago.
To be honest I think Dallas would be better off having a season like the 2012 Eagles. THey could spend a high 2nd and 3rd on defensive talent while getting a franchise QB in round 1 to groom behind Romo. In the long run 3-13 would be waaay better then 8-8 for the fourth straight year. It leads to a sucky season for one year and possibly a significant upgrade for several years.
Lee was out much of last year and Ware played injured from about week 3 on and was never the force he normally is. So the two you mention being out is pretty much a wash. If Melton can replace Hatcher, Crawford become what many of us think he us and Selvie proves he's not a fluke we can easily improve on D just by limiting the injuries.
