I am sure we would have been done rebuilding on defense if the health of our safeties would not have been an issue.

Safety, or the full secondary? Who are the starting corners? Do we ever expect to have a defense boasting consistent pressure w/o finding a standout nose tackle? And who's gonna replace London after 2013? (Riley can't play both ILB spots at the same time )

And it's not that we should be done rebuilding the offense either, but over the next three drafts we only have three picks in Rds 1 and 2. Limited...is the word, word?

I mentioned safeties, b/c I think if both had returned healthy, we probably could have gone after a #1 CB. Although then again with this cap issue, we could have stay put with the same defense from last year. I doubt we are going to replace Cofield, although I think he'd fit best as a DE. Without our safeties issue, finding a possible replacement for Fletch would have been our only "rebuilding" move.
