methinks too spendy

Miami got him on a one year show-me deal after coming off surgery. He did indeed show himself to be among the better NFL CBs. I think he shoots higher than Keenan Lewis' deal at 5yrs $26mil. That looks too spendy until we would see some major cap cuts.

A #27 1st rder would be more like #25 Xavier Rhodes last year- 4yrs $7mil. We would be adding to our fastly accumulating talent, youth, & value on defense with that.

There have been a fair share of "misses" on the defense in drafts since '06. Usama, Sedrick Ellis, Jenkins, PRob, Martez, Johnny Patrick. It doesn't take but a handful of solid picks to turn that around tho. That is happening right before our eyes... Vaccaro, John Jenkins, Hicks, White, Jordan. That's not mentioning solid FAs like Keenan Lewis still only 27. Oh, Victor Butler like a lagniappe this year is only 26.
