~$30m for a 5.5 sack DE and a 1 INT CB is a terrible idea. You can go out and get the two best OL FA for that amount.

Even if you retain both Lawson and Jackson (for 1 year), you're still left with the 26th Overall/22nd scoring defense from 2020, only now you're down $30m in cap space. What does that possibly do to move the needle towards Ws?

That's why it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they signed O-line FAs and let Lawson & Jackson walk.

Then trade back for Surtain making the next two picks DE/WR or another lineman.

I wouldn't love passing on Chase or Pitts but I could understand the move.

Not my favorite scenario. I'm not sold on some 1st rd college CBs that are grabby in coverage.
