WJ III, Alexander, etc - probably better than Hilton & Awuzie. Best case it’s probably a push.

Lawson + Hendrickson? Awesome. Hendrickson instead of Lawson? Downgrade. At least a small one.

Reiff over Hart is a huge W. The fat guy that hangs out near our dunkin is an improvement over Hart.

Ogunjobi is a tick ahead of Adkins, and I only give him that because I truly believe Atkins has been sandbagging and will find a 2nd wind.

Green and Ross gone, won’t miss either. If we somehow get GollaDEY it’s a big upgrade. If not, we’re probably looking at a WR in the first 2 rounds.

Last year they clearly upgraded in a few areas. Atkins, Ross, Hart and Green are additions by subtraction. But we’re not even marginally better on paper.

Bring in Trai, Golladay or another legit starter and I think we get a passing grade. But we, as fans, are a little too distracted by the flashing lights and loud noises.

I usually agree with you, but not so much here.

I see Hendrickson's production as equal to Lawson's - if not better - and he doesn't have the ugly injury history that Lawson does.

Reiff over Hart, obviously.

Ogunjobi is getting way undervalued on here, IMO. Started every game for 3 years with the Browns...on some good defenses. Produced better numbers than any DT we've had recently outside of prime Atkins. He's a solid player and starter. Not a "rotational guy" like I've seen floated on here.

Hilton and Awuzie started/played for some elite defenses and playoff teams. I also think they're being undervalued on here. WJIII has also been a bit overvalued, much like Lawson.

You'd think Lawson was the 2nd coming of LT. That dude on his best day isn't even on Dunlap's level. He's a solid pass rusher...but so is Hendrickson.

Now I don't think this is a home-run free agency, either. I think we mostly side-graded, with a modest improvement to the o-line. We still need major help on the interior. I'd give us a solid B- this free agency, with the ability to move up with some interior help.
