Safety is still a major concern.

We had a lot of holes to fill in FA and Allen has filled many of them. Of course, what's left to do is with safety. We likely won't acquire a quality starts-this-year safety outside of a draft or FA miracle, so it appears that we are stuck with another year of average-at-best safety play. But we can acquire roughly average safeties as late as training camp. So there is reason to be sad about safety but no reason to panic.
