With Stingley, Awuzie, and Hilton we’d be set at CB. Then spend big in FA on the OL.

I think this is right on the money. We would have a pretty elite defense and could go get some oline help? Who would be an FA Olinemen next season?

Never got his QB thanks to Elway's failures, and Arizona's defense has looked good. If not Bowles, I'd be more supportive of Joseph now then I was 3 years ago.

I'd like an offensive minded coach though. And those previously fired but ready for a 2nd shot are hard to find (not interested in Daniels).

If it's Brady and he's calling plays then it is a similar gamble given his inexperience as HC. He at least has calling  plays under his belt now and ZT didn't.

Vance Joseph is not a bad pick either and if I remember correctly has worked with Zimmer in the past.(Could be a possible DC candidate depending on what happens in Minnesota.) Of course any coach is a gamble, not exclusively Brady, and while some people might see it as a pipe dream it makes sense. Brady has a lot more stops than Zac. His abilities as an OC aside he has worked with a large group of successful coaches including Sean Peyton and may be better developed as a HC.

So you let Wayne's walk, and draft time comes around.  You say draft Stingley, other people say draft the best OT on the board to replace Reiff.  

So once again you end up in the same situation you're in this year where you have people say draft Chase or Sewell. 

We know the front office isn't going to go out and give a shit load of money to a starting OL.  

With a new head coach potentially coming in next season, Reiff probably wants to jet to a winner so he has a chance as a SB before he retires. 

So again, its the choice CB or OL.  Which one do you suck at more? 

Once again who is available next offseason at both in FA? I do not think either idea is bad. Also FA may be willing to hand out some big contracts depending on a coaching change and what Burrow has to say.
