At any rate, you can have a plan, but it still requires a lot of moving parts to play out exactly how you want them to. Perhaps this is the path that was available and the best value positionally.

And it's not just 'a bunch of rookie CB's'. You've replaced Ward (a former UDFA) with a first round rookie CB. You still have Sneed and Fenton.

Reid is no rookie, and is a bigger, faster Mathieu.

You've replaced Sorensen (an aging UDFA) with Cook, a bigger, faster, 2nd round talent.

You've replaced Niemann (an UDFA) with Chenal, a bigger, faster, stronger 3rd round talent.

This is a significant talent upgrade, rookie mistakes accepted. It's a big difference in ABILITY.

You don't get into project mode until you get to Williams.

Definitely needed length and athletic ability on the back end. Our DBs getting 'Mossed' over and over again was a problem. An athletic upgrade was needed on the front end too. We're going to continue to send lbs and cbs to get pressure. Maybe having better athletes to blitz will yield better results
