If you tag and trade Ford, you're going to have like at least 5 picks in the first three rounds.
Without Ford and Houston, you have an extra $32 Million dollars. Cut Sorensen, another $3.6 million. So, yeah, like $35 or $36 million depending on Ford's tag #. EXTRA. To go sign proven starters that fit the scheme. For a SS, a SAM, and a DE. Plus plenty of high picks to draft depth and development.
Also of note, your last 3 #2 picks plus last year's #3 would be your defensive line if they cut Houston and Ford and line up today. Kpass and Speaks? yeah, they were DE in college. This is their natural position.
I'd like a veteran because I don't trust both DE positions to players with so little experience. A Brandon Graham'll probably cost you like $10 mill. A KJ Wright or Anthony Barr like $8 mill. and a Landon Collins or Earl Thomas like $9 million.
So, what you're saying if you want to keep Houston/Ford is that you'd rather have those 2 guys who were on the #31 defense instead of Graham+Collins+Barr.
Which is dumb. Sorry, it just is. Graham+Collins+Barr is much, much better. Against the run, in coverage, and with Graham next to Jones in a 4-3, probably against the rush too. Jones might get 20 sacks for ****'s sake, 1 on 1 every play with a Guard.
