It creates a really interesting pathway forward to salvaging the draft for Britches Valanch.
I mean in a vacuum, it's an AWESOME set of players to add to this defense. You've now added 2 more physical, athletic, kinda mean players to the defense.
So now you have Bolton, Gay, Lloyd, Cine, Sneed and Thornhill who are all fast, active, willing hitters with a mean streak and a nose for the football. That sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.
What it also does, though, is probably take Ward off the table because now your FA money absolutely has to go to the DL. There's nothing you can add in this draft that will move the needle there at this point. It's really sorta hemmed us in as to how to go forward.
There are still some WRs, CBs and OL that are likely to add some value in the 3rd round. Some RB talent as well. But DL has been stripped bare (or will be by the time the 3rds come up).
I mean there's no question Tamba has gotten huge value on both of these picks. Both guys are likely to go anywhere from 5-20 picks before he got them. So there's a lot to like about that.
It just means that we've pigeonholed the rest of the off-season, that's all. And that's not the end of the world if managed well.
Really an interesting approach and not an indefensible one. Not the way I'd have gone (because Cine falling this far seems fairly unlikely), but one that can easily be pulled from the fire and lead to a really exciting team next season. Especially since both of these guys play positions/styles that will allow them to hit the ground running and make immediate impacts.
Way to get it back on the rails, Tamba.
