They completely reshaped the defense and brought in a #1 overall QB to pair with an electric WR.
The scenario sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it?
There is no way you can compare the level of the guys we signed when Marvin arrived to the free agents we have signed over the last two years.
John Thornton was was a highly rated free agent for the Bengals, but nothing compared to Reader or Hendrickson.
Tory James and Nate Webster were decent players but they were not even starters when we signed them.
Delthea O'Neal was a hell of a good player, but even he was in the doghouse on the bench when we traded for him.
