Hall and Amerson at corners. One of Rambo/Merriweather/Jackson starts and we need a starter at the other safety spot.
Maybe bring in a FA over Tapp, but I definitely think Riley and Jackson can hold down the other two spots.
Depth is still and issue at many positions, but at least we're making the most of our assets. Rak especially will be a beast at RDE and Kerrigan is plenty stout enough to play LDE and create some pressure too.
The offense needs more help than defense in terms of adding players/talent. 3 or even 4 new olineman and at least another starting WR.

I've always felt that the switch to a 3-4 was Shanny's first and biggest mistake, and I agree that the personnel in place are the makings of a decent 4-3, with additional help at safety required.
