Within FA we've revamped/upgraded our DBs. We now have Shaquill Griffin, C.J Henderson, Sidney Jones and Tre Herndon amongst others. I see Griffin as our #1, Henderson as our #2, Jones as our nickel and Herndon will play in the Dime packages. Baring health we literally have a Very Good defensive backfield and can now concentrate on the DL and LB positions within the 2021 NFL Draft.
Whom will be our #1, #2 and Nickel DB? Enquiring Minds.
Time Will Tell.

I don't know if we "upgraded" the D-Line as much as we stocked it with scheme fits.
None of those guys appear to be dominators. Alualu benefitted from surrounding talent in Pittsburgh, and none of the other guys were starters.

everyone else out those was already here, they just re-signed.
well not yet,don't they need to sign contracts tommorrew when free agengy really is here ,and then pass team phycials before offcialliily joining the team? If it all works out gettiing the griffin brothers will lbe awsome.
I'm just saying lets not count players into our jungle until contracts are offcial,and phycials have been cleared.

I Concur. Upgrades w/respect to the DL must include a Space Eater/Run Stopper and interior pass rusher. They'll come hopefully.

I thought the same thing. Not sure this qualifies as a "revamp"

You dont have to be a dominator to upgrade our dline. Ward, Harris, and Alu will be upgrades. All was graded the best NT in the league thus past year and best run defender
On behalf of all UCF grads, I welcome the Griffin twins back to Florida!

By who?
The same people who had Derek Cox ahead of Darelle Revis?
If Alualu were dominant, he would not have signed with us so cheaply.

Yes, just Griffin. We now have our true #1 and #2 CB to which Jones (whom had more INTs and Pass Breakups than any other on our team in 2020) can play the nickel. This one acquisition truly upgrades the DB positions by far.
Time Will Tell.

He sure played like a #1 in week 1 last year.
Too bad his play dropped off.
The skepticism towards him in that role is understandable.

Because he's 34. He is dominant against the run but his play has been getting better with age. Did you watch every play from his last year? What would you grade him against the run

Meh, our secondary is still awfully suspect.

Every team has an #1 DB, it's just a matter of how dominant that DB is.

That's what the draft is for
Give me a good ss like moerig in the draft and on paper if say our secondary went from our biggest weakness to a strength

Moehrig could play both safety positions but he'd be our FS. Jenkins cam play both safety spots. I'm worried Moehrig won't be there when we pick.

Other pick id want is a trade up
For pitts tbh.
