All are very good articles. I think the defense will be fine this season, as most of the "replacement" players have starting experience in the past (L.A. Goree, Marcus Whitfield, Keith Bowers, etc.) The defensive backfield is definitely a strength, and the linebacking corps will be good. Edsall recruited a LOT of linebackers in this class (led by Yannick Ngakoue). It looks like the lines are the focus for this next year's class.

 

Everyone is talking about the offensive explosion that could potentially take place, but the defense should be pretty strong. Special teams could be interesting. It seems like Brad Craddock has calmed down a bit and should be much more consistent this season. Renfro is a decent punter, but I'd like to see more consistency there, too (but I can tell he has a huge leg). Diggs will be helped out a lot in the return game by the fact that they can give him a breather once in a while. Seems like Deon Long and William Likely are very capable returners in their own right. Catonsville product DeAndre Lane could see some time returning in the next few years as well.
