I’d probably trade Jones, Watkins, Kpassagnon, and Speaks.
I’d invest as many top picks as possible to staffing out the defense. I’d also really hope Chris Harris would be interested in playing here for not that much money. I’ve been making the argument for a couple weeks that we should pursue Woodyard, too. He’s old (and therefore cheap), and he should be an upgrade over Darron Lee. |

I think there is a chance it comes together. New system and personnel. 4 weeks in. I’m willing to give it some time.

Hopefully the game slows down for Thornhill as well. |

The problem with trading Watkins is it kills your WR situation losing him and Drob, and I’m not a fan of paying Drob what he could get on the open market. |

Welp, we're about to get an extended look at the defense without Jones I guess, this should give us a good idea what trading him would be like.
I keep thinking if you can get a first and a second, you have to. |

I think you have to trade Jones and Watkins from the team and go hard after a couple of great run defenders in FA. I have A'Shawn Robinson and Joe Schobert pegged as those guys, but everyone probably has their opinion.
With that, you have to get some improved play off the edge or the pass rush is going to be pretty bad. I'd think you have to bring back Ogbah and get another rotational DE early to pull it off because Ogbah has been our best pass rusher and they need more than that. |

It will take more than season of draft prospects and FAs

I wouldn't argue that the defense has been anything but frustrating this year, but the initial indications are they are a bit better than last year in a new system with a completely new roster and new coaches. I think someone posted they were 18th on DVOA in another thread, up from the high 20's last year.
You say it will take more than a season, but the point of this thread was that I can't see there being much change next year, so I guess if you think most of the talent in the starting 11 now is garbage then you are right, it has to take more than one season. Right now, I genuinely think the most likely outcome is they re-sign Jones, re-sign one of Fuller or Breeland and then draft another corner and we pretty much play with the same starting 11 next year as this year. It's too early to draw any conclusions on this defense but I would be worried about that as it stands now. |

LB should be pick 32.
Interior OL after that. |

I think a corner, an interior offensive lineman, and a linebacker.
Possibly a RB in there in the first four rounds. As I've already said, I want Biadasz to be Mahomes personal chauffer/center for the next decade. |

It's funny reflecting on the OP I made, back when the defense was still struggling to gel and making a lot of mistakes. I posted this because I felt like we were "stuck" with a lot of the same defense next year as this year.
Now, that seems like a real positive rather than a potential issue. |
