I don't think they'll land any of these guys to be honest with you. All of today's cuts on defense mean they have the following approach beginning next week and then in April.

1. Free Agency dedicated towards overhauling the defense to fit Hewitt's scheme. 
2. Draft dedicated towards addressing the offense early. 

There's no in between with this front office. They only know one way and that way is incompetency.

If we can land a better center and allow the new DC to build his squad, good things will happen. Give it time to develop.

Center is not the only need on offense though. We technically don't have a LG with Cleveland on the market. LT should still be a concern for this fanbase as well. 

As it stands you're relying on a guy that can't stay healthy and was a doper last year and his 2nd RD back-up also has durability concerns. This also leaves Scherff at RG, who, much like the argument was made with Darious Williams, he should honestly be gone due to his age and cap hit which is roughly the same as Williams in savings at $9M. 

This also doesn't get to the point of where we stand right now with Josh Allen being tagged by 1600 hours today and thus enabling our current WR1 to test the market uncontested in another area of need and concern. Because, again, once you get past Ridley and Kirk. Who do you have? 

Hate to sound some doom and gloom man, but, this team has a lot more holes than people realize...

I don't know about that most fans i've seen expect CB and that was before today.

They're not going to get a good CB at 17. The good one's will be gone by pick 15. No thanks on Nate Wiggins there. No thanks on Terrion Arnold or Kool Aid with the foot surgery needed post PRO day. 

Give me the white boy from Iowa that can play multiple positions in the secondary, namely safety, at a Harrison Smith level more than likely, and a guy that offers me KR/PR abilities to replace Parker Washington in very selective situations season wise and game wise.
