Revis was/is a legit superstar player...possible league MVP quality player.
This team is gonna need an elite defense to have any chance with Alex Smith...if they are dead set on cementing themselves to him, we need to make some moves to win now.
Move back to 9 and add Revis and sign him to a deal that has a team option after 2 years...with the pick, we try to move down again with a team willing to give up next years first and gets us in the high teens to low 20s and take the best pass rusher we can get....I'd even consider a guy like Jarvis Jones at that point.
Build the defense into an elite unit that can hold teams to around 14 points while killing quarterbacks and try to win that way.
If we are gonna pop a 90s Chiefs video into the VCR, I prefer one while we still had Neil and DT.

I think we're going to need a damn good OL for Alex Smith more than a defense.
Just like Trent Green, we're gonna need to make sure Alex Smith has a clean pocket 90% of the time to succeed.
