If Baker walks we are 0-3 on d-line starters, both Compton and Foster are replaceable at mike, and both safeties are replaceable. That's more than "a couple pieces" away.

If couple means 7. We're only a couple pieces away on defense lol.

But we do have good cap and extra picks . If we have a good off season we can be a much better (not elite or anything) on defense.

But we're definitely going to be way better than the Rams.
