or draft to upgrade this unit. I know PFF isnt the only metric here but it seems to be the baromoter everyone looks at. Im still pissed they didnt bring in Ivan Pace
that kid is a beast.....cant believe he went undrafted!

PFF is one general measure of a player, normally when you have a down year on defense most players stats suffer but is not always reflective of their ind. performance, for example Wilson was 26th in solo tackles, top 10 in FF/INTS so i felt had a decent year and i look at overall performance in career both Pratt and Wilson have done well and they have newer contracts so i don't think Bengals are going to look at that as high need area in FA or Draft.

As for Pace nice rookie year no doubt but a "beast" since both him and Pratt had similar stats this year does that mean Pratt is a "beast" ?
