More on this coming next week at B/R, but this is how I look at it. When Mike Mayock asked BB about team-building through the draft and he said it starts “inside out and down the middle”.
It’s my view that the quickest way to make the biggest impact on this defense is to upgrade Kyle Love. It also scares me to imagine what would happen if Vince Wilfork somehow missed a game. They can’t keep running him into the ground.
I’ve kicked the dead horse of improving the interior rush already this season, but simply it comes down to just having another impact player in the front seven and I think Love, though he had solid 2012, is the most upgradeable player on defense.
The only other area I think they strongly look at is Spikes, Hightower and the middle linebacker position. They might need to add another rotational coverage specialist in there. Dane Fletcher might even be the guy.
As long as Dennard isn’t in jail I’m excited about the secondary of him-McCourty-Wilson-Wilson-Gregory-Arrington-Talib. You could use another slot corner in there but that’s a group that you can win a Super Bowl with in my view.
