1. Cut Jaylon Smith
2. Re-sign either Awuzie or Lewis
3. Sign Eric Wilson (~4-5/year)
4. Sign either DJ Jones or Dalvin Tomlinson (~8-9/year)
5. Draft defensive BPA throughout unless there is a future LT you just can't pass up
Defense fixed.
I mean, I know it'll never happen because our dumbass braintrust is afraid of spending more than $5 million/year on a free agent unless they're one of our own, but it truly is that easy.
We could be looking at this defensive depth chart:
DL: Lawrence, Tomlinson, Hill, Kwity Paye or Gregory Rousseau (round 1), Randy Gregory, Neville Gallimore, Bradlee Anae, Dorance Armstrong
LB: LVE, Wilson, Bernard, Gifford, mid-round pick or two
CB: Awuzie, Diggs, Brown, mid-round pick or two
S: Richard LeCounte (round 2), Donovan Wilson, Reggie Robinson
With solid coaching that depth chart is more than enough to win 10 games with a healthy offense.
