I'm worried about them having such a lack of pass rush that it doesn't matter if the secondary actually has talent

Maybe Hendrickson ends up being a gem, or Okafor performs well, or Kikaha... any of those guys. I'm just not confident with it. Lattimore was a smart pick considering value, but I still think they should've addressed edge earlier in the draft.

Im not. We were 4th overall in QB hits last year with 106. We were 27th in sacks with 30. That tells me the split seconds we weren't able to sack QBs was due to the coverage. Lattimore and Williams along with a healthy secondary probably fixes those issues.

I agree to a certain extent. But for some reason I think Okafor will be enough.

The only reason he didn't start was because he was behind two double digit sack guys in Chandler Jones and Markus Golden. When he played last season he got 4 sacks and was top 5 in edge pressures efficiency. He also played all year with a torn biceps muscle, also part of the reason he lost his starting gig.

He isn't going to come in and be Cam Jordan, but if he can find his 2014 self then we will be set. He's also 26 and on a one year prove it deal. I also believe he and Vaccaro were teammates at Texas and he convinced him to sign here instead of with Zona. Because they were interested in bringing him back.
