#2:  Not drafting another pass rusher

Given the nature of the secondary and its many unproven aspects it was a blunder by Pace and the front office to not add another edge rusher in the draft or free agency. Why? Look at how things are shaping up. Leonard Floyd and Pernell McPhee are really good, but also proved last year to be really fragile as well.

Lamarr Houston is returning from another torn ACL and Willie Young is 32-years old. Put simply it’s a group with plenty of ability but is facing serious age and injury concerns. That makes having good, young depth vital. They appeared to either not see it that way or failed to act on it. Either way it’s a major oversight.
