in to win in 2021 which to me is unforgivable.

I would love to see a trade for a 2nd and 4th round pick in 2023 and use his salary to upgrade with one year deals for 3 guys.

Bring Larry O. back
Vet safety like Collins (Hill replace Bates)

Without knowing Collins' ratings in coverage v. run support; I've see Collins as a complete Safety. He played FS in Washington; as Merriweather played SS. 

I do know Bell was better in coverage than Bates last year in coverage; so if we could easily take the better in coverage to replace Bates while the other thumps. Also, our first 2 draft choices are prototypical coverage-safety types. 

The best thing about Collins is he is the same age as Reggie Nelson when he started wearing stripes.
