Why can't people recognize that basically the entire defense had career years in 2017. Only a handful of guys come close to matching the production of that year. Sure, the offense has put the defense at a disadvantage since then, but defense-led teams ALWAYS have short windows.

Not only that, didn't most the board expect Bouye to be let go? Especially if they were going to keep Calais and franchise Yan? There was really no other option cap-wise.

The draft was always going to be nearly all defense. And, Tre Herndon was not bad as 2nd CB who was starting for 1st season.
