Burrow was sacked 7 times and we were stuffed on multiple 3rd and shorts.  Despite a +2 turnover differential, we lost ToP and, more importantly, the game.  Not to mention some ticky tack penalties at the end against our defense that gave the Rams more chances than they should have had to score the go ahead TD.  Our defense was the only reason we were even in the game, let alone leading.  

I'm not necessarilly opposed to any method of improving the team, but making Jackson the highest paid CB in the league along with making Bates one of the Top 5 highest paid S's as the OP suggests is a massive chunk of the cap, not to mention the substantial deals Bell, Awuzie, and Hilton already have.  It doesn't seem sustainable or really logical given the quality CB and S prospects that will be available in the first two rounds of the draft.
