We have added a lot of talent and I expect our defensive performance to improve.  However, I don't think the defense will breach into the top 10 this year.  I think the defense needs to mesh with all of the new acquisitions, or as another guy put it, the new players need to "gain a sense of continuity and develop into schemes".  We have rookies, we have a young player coming back from injury that needs to prove himself.  The players need to grow as a unit.  I also think we are an offseason's worth of a couple more key acquisitions away from being a dominant force.  I'd like us to draft a 1st round DE next year (and a 2nd round Center for the offense).  If everything goes well, I think you'll see the Defense really take off during the 2017 season.  I think we'll have a defense that will at the very least be capable of backing up Bortles this year.
