You really see Hendrickson, Awuzie, and Hilton being better than Lawson, WJ3, and Alexander?

PFF grades for the guys who left vs their replacements:
WJ3 - 72.4 coverage grade
Awuzie - 52.0 coverage grade

Alexander - 67.2 coverage grade
Hilton - 67.0 coverage grade

Lawson - 84.9 pass rush grade
Hendrickson - 78.0 pass rush grade

The only grade where a replacement was better than the guy who left was Hilton had higher run defense and pass rush compared to Alexander.

Hendrickson had more sacks than Lawson, but Lawson had more pressures.
Hilton had more two more INTs than Alexander.

All I need is "you're right" or "you're wrong".

Not too long ago, the Bengals would have paid the same money to keep their own and out "1 big FA signing" would be a has been about a year out from retirement.

Those same folks currently complaining about; we've not gotten better with all these moves, would have been complaining back then because we've done nothing buy re-sign players from a crappy D. Some hard to please message board philosopher would have shared with us the definition of insanity.
