Am I safe going into the season with this? (1 Viewer)

[Arnold. S]

I am looking to win a championship in a Zealots league this year, my offense is all set but in past years my defense hasn't been up to par. I made a couple of moves already this offseason adding Osi and Polamalu, but I'm still worried about my LBs. Here is my defensive lineup:

Allen, Jared KCC DE 107.50 5 FA

Ellis, Shaun NYJ DE 44.00 8 FA

Freeney, Dwight IND DE 78.50 8 FA

Laboy, Travis TEN DE 54.50 10 FA

Umenyiora, Osi NYG DE 117.50 5 FA

Arrington, Lavar FA LB 44.00 - FA

Barnett, Nick GBP LB 151.80 6 FA

Hayes, Gerald ARI LB (I) 0.00 6 FA

Mitchell, Lance ARI LB 7.50 6 FA

Urlacher, Brian CHI LB 135.00 4 FA

Ware, Demarcus DAL LB 83.50 9 3.07

Williams, Demorrio ATL LB 148.50 8 FA

Taylor, Ike PIT CB 113.23 4 FA

Davis, Thomas CAR S 45.00 7 3.06

Dawkins, Brian PHI S 132.40 6 FA

Ferguson, Nick DEN S 100.90 9 FA

Kiel, Terrance SDC S (I) 67.00 10 FA

Nicholson, Donte TBB S 5.00 7 FA

Polamalu, Troy PIT S (P) 130.00 4 FA

Am I right in assuming Thomas Davis will be moved to LB later on? and I will be taking a couple of LBs in the 3rd round of the rookie draft also.

You have to watch where Demorrio Williams will play this year. Is Barrnett's numbers going to take a hit with the coming of the two rookie LBs in GB? I'm waiting to hear on T. Davis as well.

That looks above average to me, so if your offense is good, you're a contender.

Coach Fox claims its a done deal, in terms of Davis moving to LB. There is some debate on whether he play will or sam.

For what is worth.. Ourlads depth chart has Boley starting at SLB and Williams backing up Brooking.

There are some questions regarding both Arrington and Barnett.... if they both end up at SLB, you could have some problems in your LB corp.

I've read that even though Arrington is penciled in at SLB, they will move him around and try to use him the way L Taylor was used in the Giants D. His tackle numbers might not be good, but they want him to be a big play LB.

There is still a small chance Barnett could go to SLB. No upside if that happens. I'd look at jumping for Hoge in the rookie draft, just in case.

The other area I'd look at is drafting a starting rookie safety. Polamalu is great, but he isn't elite FF-wise. Huff or one of the other rookie safeties, even Alston is what I'd be looking for.
