that gives you a solid line with 3 depth OL (jansen/heyer/kendall), some LB depth, better special teams (though we still need a PR not named randle-el) and great DL depth.

for the draft, ideally we'd take orakpo (though he seems to have moved into a top 5-10 type position now from a top 10-15).

we can afford to take a risk with smith with that much OL depth, or we can take a young linebacker, though rey is a bit slow compared to fletcher or a standard cover type LB, he'd be good as a standard 4-3 MLB or 3-4 LB.

Surprised to see Saden thinks Willis is a lousy OL (i figure he's seen Willis more than the rest of us being in Seattle). Willis started 10 games and I believe played in all 16 but only gave up 1.5 sacks... statistically far better than any FA left.

... you have us loading up on a lot of players here.
