I told everybody here that Stone was an awful signing, same with Rankins.
Now I do agree they HAVE to sign possible starters at safety and OG. If not, this team is worse than last year and we are just spending money to keep the fanbase that's already in place(the Tee signing makes us no better).
I like the fact they drafted two linebackers, Pratt is 100% gone. And they wont be stretched as thin in Goldens defense.
Hopefully the coverages are simplified so our guys can just play.
If that happens and we get some development out of Shemar and Murphy, and the two second year DTs, then we could be dangerous.
Battle has liabilities in coverage and is only a box safety. I picked Stone over him because he has had success in as a 2 deep Safety in 3 safety sets during his time in Baltimore.
As for Murphy he needs to have a great preseason to stay here and if not he will be on thr chopping block. Maybe the Bengals keep him as 6 DE who doesn't dress on GameDay but that seems worse than trading him.
If Sample is healthy and I personally think Cedric Johnson is already a better player than him. That would make it tough for Myles to make the roster.
