Do we resign Karl Joseph? He's came on strong of late, but still short. I think he's earned the right and he may not c9st a shot ton of $$$$.
I would bring Karl back on a 1-yr prove-it deal and leave the S position alone. If Mike works the personnel right, we COULD actually have Joyner playing FS next season where he SHOULD be, with Abram as the thumper and playing a lot of extra-DB looks. I can see us living in that big nickel, running with 2 SS and 2 LBs a lot instead of a typical 4-3 set.
In terms of CB, we can handle that in FA. Trae Waynes, Logan Ryan, Bradley Roby or if we want to swing hard, Byron Jones. We don't need to spend more draft capital on the position. We drafted 2 of them last year and signed a couple.
In terms of MLB, I personally wouldn't leave that position to chance. In other words, I wouldn't draft for that spot. I bring in the proven guy in FA, lock him up for 5 years and let him be the QB of my defense consistently for a long time to come. Schobert or Littleton. Schobert being my preference just because IMO Littleton can be inconsistent. Draft for explosive sideline-to-sideline OLBs.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
