Morse > Fortner

It's hard to argue everything else. Gabe Davis is not Calvin Ridley. Ronald Darby looks good but Darious Williams was also fairly good. Keep in mind, Darby played on a defense that lead the NFL in sacks. 

The only other move that we can really look at and dissect is Darnell Savage over Rayshawn Jenkins. Which I think is an upgrade. 

We brought back Cleveland and restructured Scherff. We're betting that Fortner was the issue all along and that Morse will fix it for that group. We still have plenty of time left and the draft as well. 

For me, I am just glad they managed to backfill some of these key areas. We needed a C, we needed a CB2, we needed a KR/PR and we needed a WR regardless of whether or not Ridley is coming back. 

This at least gives them flexibility in the draft now. The only position really left that I would like to see some transactions made are at DT and EDGE. We need to get stronger inside and more consistent off the edge outside of just Allen and Walker. 

Would prefer not having to backfill that in the draft, but, it's possible that we're heading in that direction. People don't like it, but, I mentioned it in another thread, the odds are higher that Baalke leans defense there with the 17th selection and it's probably going to be a guy like Laiatu Latu or Jer'Zhan Newton. 

Cooper DeJean would be my somewhat dark horse there. Only because I feel like he can do more right off the bat as a rookie. He would give you options at CB and S as well as return duties in a pinch to help with Duvarney.
