We may have just lost the nfc west title because of this. AZ,Rams and Seattle will feast on this secondary. My SB hopes have drop about 50 percent. Bad secondary equals no playoff run

Nice work, SirL. You've grown quite nuanced and savvy as an analyst! The FO's drafts, particularly this recent draft, have been ... substandard, if I may be kind. Banks (would a 4th round pick have been too high?), Sermon (is he running in sand?), Thomas (lost in the moors), et al, no premium picks spent on CBs, and now it comes home to roost. Verrett has always been brittle, so a little planning would've been prudent to draft and prepare a replacement of (with decent luck) commensurate skill. Might Henderson be snagged for some of the defensive line depth? Grasping at straws ...

There's virtually no way to replace Verrett, at least not in an apples to apples sense. Have to hope now that what we've seen from Lenior is real, and keeps getting better. Also interested to see what he have in Davontae Harris. He beat that Myres kid out for a spot on the 53 despite being injured, so it's obvious he impressed. Have to wait till week 4 though to see what happens with him.

Meanwhile. It's Tuesday. Let's see what moves the team makes. This is the day teams will sign the most veteran FA's.
