I don't think Sheldon is over hyped at all. Not even a little bit.

1 - Do we cut our loses with Byrd and throw money at a Muhammad Wilkerson? Don't count on it. Jets will want a small ransom for his services.

Issue is our own FA and is this the last year of Byrd. Can Vonn Bell replace Byrd or at the least can CB play step up enough to make Bell work as a FS? So safety is the a huge key.

Byrd? Last year? Quite possibly however I think he will be a very important piece in 2016 & get back to his play making ways. Our defense will be better (looking great on paper thus far), corner backs will be stronger, the D line is improved & the linebackers will be better.

With James L at the MIKE, I think guys will be aligned up & in position to make plays on a regular basis. IMO Byrd is still a play-maker. He will be better because our team defense will be much improved. As for Vonn .. he is fresh out of college & it will take time to transition. He is not at The Ohio State anymore but competition should be good.

I'm expecting big things from J Byrd this season.
