In this scenario we could draft the best defensive player aside from bosa on the board with the #3 pick and turn around and get Hockenson 7th.   Look for the best cb available in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Ramsey is the best cb in the league but I don't think it's wise to pay top dollar at the cb posiiton.  I am a fan of paying the big men up front.  With the salary cap you often can't pay both your secondary and defensive line top dollar so a choice has to be made.

By cutting Dareus alone next year, we clear over $22 million in cap space.  If you add Campbell, I know it's over ten million ..may be closer to 16 million more.  Bortles salary will be off the books too.  I defer to 02 and other more cap savvy people for the exact figures. Point is there should be money enough to sign Ramsey and Ngakoue.

As a franchise we can't be afraid of big contracts, especially when the whole point of drafting is to be able to acquire the players with the ability to earn those deals.
