I would draft a LB in the first 4 rounds. Holcomb is a great depth guy to have around but I am still not sold on him as a starter.

While I’m all for using a pick on a LB later in the draft, but could you imagine tagging Payne and then adding Wagner next to Jamin Davis?

Adding a vet a LB the caliber of Wagner to this defense, I think it’s a top 5, maybe top 3.

Adding Wagner would certainly change that. Yes.

I don't know about the top 5/3 part of it, we've been expecting so much for so long, that they need to truly deliver before I crown them anything.
But agreed a 100%, I was yelling during all of last year's off-season that we needed to sign a proven MLB, Wagner was top of the list last year, I haven't checked 2023 FA LB yet but he has to be near the top of the list this year too!

I’m not paying anymore for FA’s unless they are our own or cheap , stick to the draft.

If Philly "stuck to the draft", they would not have been in the Super Bowl this year. Same with KC. You have to use both the draft and free agency, and you have to spend.

Look at what picking up "cheap" free agents for our O-line got us this year. And LB...

It really doesn't make sense to have 40-50% of your cap go to one unit on the team, which is what it would be if they kept Young, Allen, Payne, and Sweat.

This is a unique case where you have 4 stud DL/DE, I don’t want to break this yet. I think building the OL through the draft and signing OL to affordable contracts is they way to go. They beat the playoff desperate cowboys with our shitty line, Howell was the difference. Getting some young solid OL in the draft is worth the gamble, they will get better.

I highly recommend listening to this Keim/Joel Correy podcast video. Really good cap info, Payne will definitely be tagged. Should be interesting what happens with Sweat and Young, good thing Howell will be the QB, saves a shitload of money and helps signs our FA’s.
