Why Not?

Im not equating Bates & Boyds production.  I agree Bates played poorly this season, but we with our current roster missing a CB and not knowing the replacement and zero depth Im much more concerned about the FS replacement than who will play the 3rd wide receiver.  If we had a replacement or plan in place this part would be negligible.

I dont want the WR3 or FS to be the highest guy on either side of the ball whatsoever.

My preference to spend high dollars on O: QB, WR1, OLINE, WR2.  On D: DE, CB, DT

Solid oline the WR's and Mixon should get the bulk of the load. I dont see Mixon here in 2024 with his cap hit. Upgrade the line again and any RB can hit an open hole, any WR3 and TE can be check downs if we still have Higgins

Defense: Stop the run, rush the passer, defend dangerous receivers.  Great CBs dont need a great FS, I would prefer this method.

NFL salaries make no secret the valued positions.

I would definitely prefer those be the main cogs on the team as well. I'm assuming they've got a plan at CB. It may even wind up where Apple is depth. Our CB room was pretty good last year though. Hilton, Awuzie, Apple, Waynes, (I know, lol) Flowers, and good ol Vern even weren't a bad crew. As you say, problem is only two are inked. A veteran crew with chips on their shoulders. It worked out better than I anticipated..... better than most pundits too.
