How does this Cb situation play out going foward?

We could try to upgrade mlb but we should not be spending first round picks unless we draft in the 20s. Linebackers have short shelf life. Shaq is gonna last a bit longer because he didn’t play much his first 3 years. Rather use that position in the 2nd or 3rd. 

I still say LT in round 1 IF Cam is re-signed, which means that he played well.  While Morgan, Beason, and Luke were first rounders, we were talking about possible free agents.  I dunno, but I am a believer in that Alpha MLB--maybe just old school.

I’m good with LT in the first if we have stability in the qb room too. Honestly depending where we pick I’d be down with the center from Iowa. I’ve said center has been the biggest issue on the line for me personally. I think we’re gonna trade down unless they fall in love with a qb like Malik or someone like Malik might be available after a trade down who knows. A couple options we can go with.
 

luke was great but he lasted 8 seasons and was a mess the last 3 years with concussions. That position is just rough and spending a top 10 pick on a mlb again is not how I wanna build the team. That goes for runningbacks as well.

I hope if Cam is successful we pick at the bottom of the draft.

Then stop calling others who want the same huggers.

Reddick has to be a priority, outside of Shaq he's been our best defensive player

I think Gilmore will be more affordable than Donte weirdly.

I’m personally not a fan of extending DJax. He will be very expensive. Our pass rush is helping our CBs a lot and we have a stable full of CBs. I would spend that money on Reddick.

Exactly my thoughts.

They really do---so having 7 stud CBs should not be the way to go...I do not see Nixon, Roy, or Hoskins in that second DT role yet.  We may try to re-sign Jones?

DaQuan Jones has helped solidify the line. I hope we can keep him. At 29 he has some good years left. He has been an asset.

Carter is one of the worst players on our D it usually seems, but, I think we hide him well and barring a later round rookie being a steal, I think MLB is an area we can't afford to invest deeply in, so we keep him

Really?? I just don't see it.. Carter has been fine and no major mistakes..

[Moo Daeng]

I would hope for an upgrade over current Carter but he's adequate.  Whether that is finding a later round steal or Carter improving.

He's a FA so it's decision time.

He's taken a few bad angles. I don't think he's a terrible player, and being one of our worst on D isn't as bad as it sounds given how good the D is.

The last time we extended a player after one career season when we had a young capable player poised to take his spot, we ended up with the Robby Anderson extension. Let Jackson chase his payday elsewhere. We've set ourselves up well to buffer his loss. And he might recoup a 3rd round comp for good measure. There are a lot of cb needy teams. Plus we have to make room for Horn in the lineup. Hell, we don't need to even resign Gilmore but for the right price I'd be fine with it. But even he's a luxury.

Horn, Bouye and Hartsfield are a trio that would have a lot of teams envious. Gilmore and Keith Taylor Jr are fantastic depth. Then whoever wins out between Thomas Oliver and Pride would complete the roster. Obviously you'd love to keep every good starter but finding opportunities to replace players with competent players on rookie deals is how you keep a healthy cap sheet and form a complete team.
