Darby = Williams
Duvernay = Agnew, and Id rather have Ridley than Duvernay and Gabe. WR got worse.
Savage could be a good pickup.

We obliterated the cap to maybe marginally improve the secondary and get worse at receiver. As someone else said, it seems like Baalke has no plan. Its like he seems surprised that contracts expire or something, and replaces FAs with more FAs, all the while wasting draft picks on redundant positions.

I will say he does seem to do well in the first round, but is terrible beyond that.

That's a bit extreme.

Darby is literally half the price of Williams, $5m less
Duvernay has better hands than Agnew. Kirk/Gabe/Zay is worse than Rid/Kirk/Zay but better than Kirk/Zay/Marvin
Savage is better than Jenkins and $2m cheaper
Morse obviously a massive upgrade

So Darby and Savage saves us more than it cost to sign Morse, so that's a positive on the cap for 2 big upgrades and 1 at least even replacement. Gabe is the only one who actually really cost us anything that we didn't save by cutting the guy they're replacing.

If we can (and this is a big IF) get a WR/DT/OL in the draft we're in a good spot. We're already in better shape even with losing Ridley.

Yeah, I get that these folks are upset about Ridley, but it's been a productive couple of days around here. The team got better at it's worst and everywhere else is similar for smaller dollars. And yeah, we need Baalke to get his head out of his [BLEEP] and draft well this year, but when the targets are this small (CB/DT/Edge/WR) and options so numerous I think even he can do ok this year. We'll see, but people were [BLEEP] about how bad we did in free agency the day before we could even agree to deals with anyone...so expect to see more of the same the next 4 or 5 weeks.
