What makes you think they don't think the lack of pressure from the D-line isn't a concern??

A pass rushing beast at DE would be nice, but the truth is they don't grow on trees. There's only a handful of exceptional pass rushing DEs around the league, and they aren't easy to develop coming out of college like other positions like RB for example.

Who should we have picked up this offseason either in the draft or through free agency that is superior to what we have now?

As for a CB not being necessary, did you notice that Walt Harris was out yesterday and Rogers started? If there was no Rogers we would have been looking at Jimoh starting... and that is something to be truly concerned about. Neither Harris or Springs are getting any younger, and Rogers was a great fit for our style of defense. Yesterday proved how important Rogers is.
