I think the interior of the defensive line should be much, much better than last year's outing. Between Armstead's addition, Hamilton back from injury, Smith and Jefferson added from this year's draft class along with Ledbetter. It should make for an interesting line-up and rotation this pre season.

I think other guys like Lacy, Robertson-Harris and Gotsis could make for some interesting, interchangeable players playing inside or from the edge in this base look as well. The defense in general is going to be the more exciting group to watch. Like you said, between the secondary and the lineman it should have some healthy competitions all summer.

On offense, it's really just the back end of the WR room and seeing where Hodges, Fortner, Little and Foster end up on the depth chart along the offensive line. If Hodges is getting work and looks in at Center? I would like to see Fortner getting some work in at RG to relieve Scherff if needed and then you have Foster with his swing tackle ability potentially challenging Little for his job and then some.

Walker Little needs to do something this summer and pre season. Still disappointed this team has had not enough faith in him to move on from Cam Robinson at LT or to even spare this team from having to draft Anton Harrison at RT just a year ago when Taylor left for Kansas City. He's easily been the most disappointing selection of Meyer/Baalke's draft classes so far in my opinion.

45th overall selection in the 2021 draft with just 17 career starts. Not good.
