I don't think youth is a death knell for a season. There are plenty of teams throughout the years that have exceeded expectations after an overhaul of youth. We have had a huge overhaul in the defensive backfield, but what are we replacing from last year when we won a playoff game? Xavier Rhodes? The man was pretty well abused for the entire season. Trae Waynes? He is the very definition of a mediocre corner. Mackensie Alexander? He was pretty solid, but a situational player. Our two best defensive backs (Smith & Harris) are returning. Hughes is healthy and if he can stay that way, should create a situation where there is no drop off from whoever he replaces. Now that players can't be suspended for weed, Hill looks like somebody who can at least play at Rhodes and Waynes level. We added a couple of very promising draft picks, who may be able to not only cover, actually create turnovers.
