So some initial thoughts on this
-I'm thinking this helps out Wake, even aging, he should see less double teams. He struggled mightily the last 6 games of the season, and a lot of that was 1 on 1 matchups so we'll see. Make him more of a pass rushing specialist, no more 3 down action
-The line right now consists of Wake, Suh, Mitchell, and OV. Does Hickey and Tannenbaum look for a wider, bigger DT to counter Mitchell's poor play vs. the run last season? After all, he graded out negative 2 years straight now. Obviously Suh helps but still, don't get complacent
-LB now. Does Ellerbe get dumped after June 1? Is the priority finding a starting MLB? Misi isn't that guy.
-What's going on with the secondary? Who will start next to Reshad? Would like to see early picks spent there, if not on a LB
Suh's presence may afford us the opportunity to "cheat" in the secondary in terms of personnel and not having necessarily one standout DB that can lock a wideout. Make no mistake, I agree we need a secondary that can play and be cerebral but as long as the coverage as whole a minimizes gaps and breakdowns, they should sustain is what I'd expect.
