I hear you on the numbers, but UT did well with 13 DBs on the roster this year. I could see them increasing slightly, and I think they will be at 14 for next year (only losing Locke, Boyd and Davis). However, on the LB crew I only count 6 returning (McCulloch, Townsend, Adeoye, Hobbs, Ossai, and Overshown). I'm not sure you can count on Townsend being in the rotation and Roach will be back down on the line (probably taking over Charles spot). That's only 2 guys with real game time experience at LB. I think it's extremely important they get Caleb Johnson. This defense relies on its LB. Just my opinion.
