The team is good at drafting high end WRs (except for guys named John Ross), they should just save the money and invest the pick on a new top WR and have him for 5 years.
The team definitely needs to take a look at who and how OL and DL scouting for the draft is happening, because it isn't working in it's current iteration. They'll need to take the money saved on Higgins just to replace a top NT, because after Reader all they have are a couple of one tool guys that never developed further.
I mean, a house with its' 2nd floor ripped off will still look pretty good when compared to sleeping under a bridge!
While it's definitely improved and not the problem it was, we've invested a TON of resources into fixing the problem... and I'm not sure anyone would really pick out our OL as a particular 'strength' of the team. I don't expect us to be the Eagles, but would anyone really give our OL a mention when talking around the league?
