Do we want a starting Safety tandem of Bates and Dax next year> Which one plays the box? 

In that situation Dax would definitely play the box as he is a much better tackler. The thing is Dax has range too and Von will
be much cheaper to extend. The Daxton Hill pick is so good in so many ways cause he is so versatile. I know he hasn't done it
in the NFL yet but I truly believe he will be just as good as Bates in a lot of ways and much better in his tackling.

Completely different scenarios GF. Old elite LT past his prime vs somewhat inconsistent FS in his prime that will cost tons...

I think we have Bates replacement here too in Dax Hill, we didn't have anything close when Whit left.
