I agree with dad, middle to lower tier really. We still need more help on the interior DL and we are relatively weak at the ILB position. We are improved at corner with Norman/Breeland duo who I would rank a top 5 combo but again, relatively weak at safety imo with no proven starters with experience there. More importantly though, the run defense will suffer until SM improves those two areas up front which he still has time. There will be some really good football players released over the next 2 months that may help us.
Top 10? Seriously? I doubt that, but if they are a top 10 defense this team will play in the NFC Championship.
I think somewhere between 14 - 18 would be as “The Donald” would say “HUGE”, and would bring a second consecutive NFCE Championship to the WASHINGTON REDSKINS.
