2. If Ford delivers in 2019 then we have a difficult decision to make. Personally, I think we draft OLBs and don't hand out massive contracts like this to defensive players because the modern NFL doesn't reward defensive play.

I actually think Ford is the type of player you'd hand a deal out to. He relies on speed. That's what NFL defenses these days are all about.
Whether his body can hold up, I dunno.
