Hall, Barnes, Tryon, who join Rogers and Landry who are also fairly young). I think these have been very good moves, and I think the defense is set for the future (as long as they address the LB position in the next draft/free agency).

I do hope that next year, in addition to addressing the LBs, they would address the offensive line (their 1st rounder needs to be a lineman), and the RB position. So far, I'm fine with the influx of young players they have had, of course now they need to produce and get Ws.

Time will tell if any of the draft picks pan out. Most of them haven't seen the field yet so we don't know if these are good moves or not.
