The only loss that might hurt us in the immediate future is Ford, but the defense was already pathetic even with him.

And I don't think that will be the case. With Ford and Houston gone we gained 30 million in cap and a 2nd round pick.

Houston was a top-3 defensive player for us last year. He held the edge and got to the QB. He was very solid on a really shitty defense. Ford wasn't solid but he was wild and productive. Putting up top-7 pass rushing numbers this year MAKES Dee Ford a top defensive pass rusher in the NFL. That's the way it works. Ford put up better numbers than Khalil Mack and we traded him for a 2nd round pick next year when we don't know where it will be. At least this year it would have been the 2nd pick of the round. |

Much better.
1) The Defensive coaching staff went from one of the worst in the league to one of the best. 2) Ford and Houston...could you really count on them again? Especially at 30+ million in cap space? Ford took 5 years to produce. He's often injured and disappeared against good lines. Houston is 30 and hasn't played a full season since his big contract year. 3) Their replacements are likely on the roster in Kpass and Speaks. They haven't proven anything but are 4-3 DE's. This coaching staff and front office were trying to put them at OLB and they didn't fit. Kpass showed promise at rushing the pass rusher but looked lost at coverage and he won't have to do that. Still need depth. 4) Chris Jones is going to be an absolute beast in this scheme. He only has to play 1 gap now. He's my dark horse Defensive MVP next year. 5) Hitchens and DoD are much better fits in this defense as well. 6) Honey Badger fills the biggest need by far on this team. I'd like to see EB gone and sign Boston. 7) The CB position needs improvement obviously but I'm sure that will get taken care of shortly. The offense will largely remain the same baring injury. I don't think they will need to score as many points this year to win so they may step back statistically, but still remain very efficient. |

How about we wait until after the draft for this, yeah? Seems pretty moronic to try and determine this when the team isn’t done making moves.

Make it out to be whatever you want. You've decided already.
Just like Veach is a genius and Dorsey was a fraud. |

Veach has been here one year. I like what I've seen but he's only been here one year...

We don't know. It's been one year.
But we'll have 3 starters on defense this year from that draft. Do we get to consider our 1st round pick Mahomes?...
