So Mike Jackson got a two-year, $14.5 million deal.  That is a good length and amount. IMO, we need another CB.  Smith-Wade (NB), Jackson, and Horn is not that strong and it is thin. Maybe we can draft one or pick up another.  

Man, this roster was bare.

 

I mean, it still is pretty bare, TBH.

DL: Derrick Brown, A'Shawn Robinson, Bobby Brown III, Shy Tuttle, Tershawn Wharton, Jaden Crumedy, Labryan Ray
EDGE: Jadaveon Clowney, DJ Wonnum, Patrick Jones II, DJ Johnson, Boogie Basham, Amare Barno
LB: Josey Jewell, Trevin Wallace, Claudin Cherelus, Jon Rhattigan
CB: Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Akayleb Evans
S: Trevon Moehrig, Demani Richardson

Defense still needs a starting FS, CB depth, and LB depth.

C'moooon Jevon Holland...

TBH, this is still a bottom 10 defense on paper. BUT, probably not a bottom 2 defense.

A couple more pieces and this team could make a surprising turnaround 

Front 7 is still pretty bad. Brown is a big upgrade but Wharton is a pass rush specialist who is very poor against the run. Jones is also a rotational pass rushing guy, so that won't move the needle much. 

Draft will need to be very, very good to make a big turnaround.

At least we're adding two browns back to the defense. Putting Derrick back in is like picking up an all pro in free agency

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
