JakeT-

I agree with #1. Hartwell will cost a whole lotta love, but MLB is the weakest position on our team. It is even more critical given the NFL’s clear intent to neuter all Cornerbacks. Pay out the big money. I would not even consider Trotter because of his knees.

I sort of agree with #2. We need a veteran CB to replace McCleon and Bartee. However, while I am willing to spend megabucks on Hartwell, I do not want to spend megabucks on a CB. I would try to find a capable veteran CB later in FA, rather than throw money at these guys. My draft CB can fight it out with the FA veteran for the starting job.

I agree on #3. Johnson will be gone. Take the best CB available in the 1st and the best OLB available in the 2nd. If by some miracle, Johnson fell to within our grasp, I would move heaven and earth to get him.

I would also keep an eye out for a less-expensive OLB. I would look for an upgrade over Hicks, but since he has the DE position locked up, I accept it and do not include DE in my off-season wish list.

We are not that far apart. We differ in that I would not spend the kind of money that Rolle and Company are going to demand. It makes no sense under the current rules.

Fully expects the Chiefs to overpay for a CB and regret it later.
