But the 5 DBs we picked up are all long, fast and willing/able tacklers.
Yeah Golden seems to be going after tall and physical secondary players. All are at least 6 feet tall and, at least on tape, know how to tackle.
It may take a couple years to really see dividends, but I expect Golden to make our defense more physical than years past.

We have been poor tacklers every season since 2016 (with the exception of 2021).
For many of those seasons, our defensive line has simply been blown off the ball, particularly in the second half of games and in the back half of the season (see Arkansas 2022 for an example). By the time our players make contact with the other team's backs, they're 8 yards downfield and running with a head full of steam.
I'm not expecting the 85 Bears to run out there. But it would be nice if our line could provide a push up front and the front seven tackle the guy in front of them.
