I'm fixing the run game on defense...............
Get FA DL.......Mebane or Luiget........Take your pick.
Get FA EDGE......Za' Darius Smith.....Upgrade from Fowler if Fowler does decide to move on.
Then, go get another LB in the draft......Mack Wilson (ALA).....Tre Lamar (CLEM).....Josiah Tauaefa (UTSA). A fresh pair of legs that can get to the ball, and TACKLE!
That fixes our run game...............
I like Za’Darius Smith as an option. He is a tier above Fowler. But I think Fowler will be in the $9M neighborhood and since Smith has clearly been more productive, he could be in the $12-$14M range.
Houston is a tier above Za’Darius and at $15.5M isn’t much more than what he will cost. If Houston could be obtained for a 4th or 5th, why not do it? The extra pass rushing production would be worth the extra couple of million.
Your draft strategy could stay the same.
