It's a much better S class in FA, but you're saying bypass that and drop a 2nd on one.  

The reality is, unless you get VERY lucky, you're not going to be able to get multiple immediate starters or turn your fortunes around based on the draft.  Even after the Burrow/Higgins/Wilson draft, we were still picking Top 5 the following year.  It's about getting guys to build around for the future, not filling holes.  

I'm also in favor of getting one of the S in FA, although Baker signing an extension takes a good one off the market.
I have just noticed rookie DBs tend to have more success compared to rookie DTs, so that's why I would lean that way.


I would argue if we're having to suffer through growing pains, why is that not the mentality for Jenkins and Jackson?
Are you thinking they are both trash and won't improve to at least solid within a year or two?
