We already let a 7 sack DT leave, you want another 7 sack (I think including playoffs DT to leave? I’m sure we could go get Christian Covington or Marcus Hunt again. That might satisfy your wants. Hill was a huge part of our Pass rush and run stop last year. This is absolutely a fine deal. Considering what money is being thrown around.

Yes, you are right. The ONLY reasonable options are either paying BJ Hill $10m/yr, or going to Christian Covington and Margus Hunt. There's ZERO middle ground available. Also BJ Hill is clearly the deciding factor between 17 or 42 sacks. He got all 25 of them all on his own. Broke the NFL single-season sack record.  



Dude, you just got done trying to tell me that having 3 players in the top 19 out of ~132 is "skimping on every position". I guess I should have expected a "if you don't want BJ Hill for $10m/yr then you want Christian Covington" from you after that.

As far as the talent we have on the d-line, I remember people saying the same thing about Hendrickson. He was a risky signing. Probably a product of playing next to great players.

I don't think you can plug any scrub in at that spot and get 14 sacks like we did last year. Ogunjobi and Hill just turned out to be diamonds in the rough. It happens. Teams whiff for whatever reason, or a certain scheme or staff brings out the best in certain players.

We should have enough left to sign a solid RT.

If we have a line that looks like this:

LT - Jonah
LG - Spain
C - Karras
RG - Cappa
RT - Good Free Agent

I could live with that. We just started, and we're one guy away.

I like how seamlessly you are both now calling BJ Hill a 7 sack player by adding together regular and post season games. So you're comparing stats he compiled over 20 games while most potential replacements will only have up to 17 games to try to fill that void as a comparison. Lol

I'm kind of done with Spain, but I would be fine with that. Need to see that happen first, though, before I dislike this signing less.
