hindsight i had when the moves were made . seen this happen before. I agree with you almost 100%. any debating would be silly since they are all minor points.

lets lump these together. I understood the pick and why they made it but I never would have reach on SJB in the second. way to much talent left on the board. But it is what it is.

Harper Jenkins and a few million dollars for Byrd. huge price to pay without a doubt. Did not like the use of cap but like the player.

Without a doubt CB is a huge hole all year.

Now lets add in Kenny to the equation as our 2013 1st round Pick at 15.Kenny is a Roman Harper clone with better hands. not that much better but better non the less. Yet another project that we all hope is just in a sophomore slump but is a project as a true SS

Byrd has the skills. But does not have the supporting cast he once had. Knock the bills all you want but they always put a solid defense on the field.

So how do you save face with the signing of the million dollar Byrd man, spending a 1st round pick on a SS that is a work in progress and then adding in a 2nd round pick at CB that can not see the field despite having a secondary gutted by injuries?

Suck it up ! Add at least two CB to this mix. FA and/or draft. that have proven skills to cover man on man. they are out there this year.

ILB and/or OLB that can cover. I would like both both. But after the last few LB my hopes are slim on getting it done in the draft. So LB should be our #1 FA target for the off season. Someone with Haralson skills set to start opposite of him on run downs. JR is on the field way to much. Haralson is our best all around LB. I wonder if he can play ILB?

anyways if we are to save face for the moves we have made and make this work. This is the only thing i can see that will have the biggest impact right out of the gate in 2015.

we can ill afford another draft filled with what ifs.

so we can add the drafting mistakes on defense too i guess or did we say that?
