TE- Reed and Davis will be extremely hard to cover at the same time I only think Davis has 1 good year left in him hopefully he has more with being somewhat 2nd string maybe more of a insurance deal if reed can't stay healthy. Be interesting who all makes the team. I look to see Reed Davis Carrier to make the team depending on recovery time. Not a big fan of Niles paul.

I think the receiving corps got a huge bump with the addition of Josh Doctson and Vernon Davis.
Doctson was my favorite WR prospect in the entire draft. I think he'll compete/challenge and he'll play. Imo he's good enough to challenge Garcon and Crowder for reps immediately. And my guess will be they will gradually fade the offense away from Garcon and more to Doc.
Net-net. Going from DeSean, Garcon and Crowder to DeSean, Garcon, Crowder and Docston makes a 4 deep WR group that compares well against most teams top 4 wideouts.
Having Reed on the field together with Davis allows the offense to disguise run/pass better then last year and provides 2 TE targets that can attack the seams.

Olb- Between these guys and the corners the are the best this defense has. Can't wait to see Kerrigan and Gallete play opposite each other. Could be 30 sack combo with just them 2.

For the past 2 seasons we've been teased with the chance to have 2 very good pass rushing OLB paired with 2 good interior pass rushers. Someone has always managed to get hurt Gallette or Paea. Now we lost an interior rusher in Hatcher. But, I'm thinking on passing downs you kick Preston Smith inside with Paea and have Junior and Ryan bring the heat from the edges. I'm excited to see these dogs hunt this year.

Ilb- this unit is also could use an upgrade Compton and foster did play well down the stretch getting Riley back from an injury may help a little possibly the lb we drafted last year that go injured in training camp will make a move to get in the lineup. Marcus.
|
Imo this unit was a major culprit in the poor run defense. Mason Foster based on his run defense alone seems like he deserves an ILB spot. For me the other ILB spot should be manned by another solid run stopper. Riley or rookie Stephen Daniels (who was tackling machine in college) for me are better fits then Compton in this regard.

DBs- this position could have gone from weakest to strongest in 2015 to 2016....... Safety is also a ? Hall and cravens is who I see starting at safety Ihenacho was playing well before he got hurt will be interesting to see who does start of those 3.
|
I wouldn't count out David Bruton either. Whether its Cravens or Bruton, tackling from the SS improves automatically over Dashon. Hall looks to be making a successful transition from CB to FS. I'm looking forward to the new S tandem. My guess to start the season in base: Hall + Bruton then eventually Hall + Cravens. 'Big nickel' Sub package: Hall + Bruton +Cravens @ nickel S for a LB.

Defense has the potential to be top 10 if they are top 5 I would be extremely suprised.

Yards or points or both? I'm bullish on the pass defense but the run game needs fixed.
