Option A or Option B?

[Shake n Blake]

With option A, we're free to spend that 1st round pick on whatever...including LB.

With option B, we HAVE to take a Tackle...and what happens if the top Tackle is gone in the top 10?

For me, it's not that they brought back Hart. Hart was better than Ogbuehi at the very least. Miller is an average lineman and an upgrade, so I was happy about that move. Not every upgrade is an all-pro, but if you have a glaring weakness and replace it with an average player, that's a very good thing.

For me, it's the amount we paid Hart. It's also the timing of the Burfict release. Why wait til all the good free agents are gone? That money could've been used towards improving the 2019 team. Instead, it looks like the room created by the Burfict release will be "rolled over" into Mike's pocket. At least that's the optics of it to me right now.

Overall, I have 2 problems with this offseason:

1. We did not get the experienced DC (pretty much) everyone wanted. That's how Sean McVay did it, and if we hired Taylor thanks to McVay's success, why not mimic what made him successful? Del Rio was the obvious hire, yet we passed for whatever reason.

2. McVay had to address the Rams o-line. The Rams signed the best Tackle on the market (Whitworth). We had to address our o-line. The best we could do was an average Guard and bringing back Hart.
