Then in the draft, it's just BPA through and through which is probably going to mean some combination of DL, RB, DB, and maybe another DL or pass catcher in those first few picks.
If Stanley makes it to the market, I'd say just get ready for it. If he doesn't, my money will be on one of the other vets to quickly get signed by us.

For you (and definitely you, Idaho, as I believe you were early on this train) -- if the Rams tag Alaric Jackson, what would you give up?
At this point, I honestly don't see enough difference in Smith and Jackson in terms of pure value
to this team to see a noticable difference between the two.
So if the Rams tag Jackson and we tag Smith, then we can get Smith dealt for a mid 2nd and flip that mid 2nd to the Rams for Jackson while getting Jackson extended at figures that are close to what Smith would extend at -- dammit, I think I'd just do it and call it a day.
If not, I'm calling the Dolphins about Armstead.
Stanley's availability is just so spotty. Not the upshot to that is that it will likely be priced into his value on the market AND, while we seemingly have nothing we can truly count on to start, we do have some options in Morris and even Kingsley that might not be catastrophic if he misses 2-3 games here and there.
I mean I don't think you can reasonably expect more than 12 games out of Stanley at this point. The injury history is just so damn loud. And he's getting older.
