I lm a Ford dan and think he’s a late bloomer that will improve his run defense as his core strength builds and Daly teaches him better technique. I also think what he gave us in terms of forced fumbles is something that is VERY VERY underrated. Most of those aren’t just forced fumbles, they are strip sacks that flip the field and turn into touchdowns.
That said, I also see him still being a little clueless in the run game and can be easily washed out of a play.
I think if we can get a guy like Flowers for a reasonable deal (12-14m per) you should definetely explore that before giving Ford a deal averaging 16-17.
