Dansby, Long, Starks even Jerry (Started 16) are proven players, a 2nd is a gamble.
Dansby will be a 34 MLB in 2 years, coming off an UP season.
Right here, right now, id compress younger & add picks:
Theres way way to many holes on this team AS IS:
* A 1&3 for Jake....from PITT
* A 2nd for Dansby/Jerry
* Allowing a Draft, depending on who falls that looks something like this:
1- Mingo
1- Ansah
2- Ertz
2- Aboushi OT
2- Patton WR
3-
3-
3-
Id favor a pressure DE/ with a pressure OLB behind him (move Misi inside) add a Mauti in the 4th for inside depth, be a very sik front 7, Free up a ton of Cap, u could sign an Amoudushi for Marshall $$ (after his down year in Philly, a Bowe/ Williams combo) & have the youngest team in the NFL
Sean Smith being far apart, just anotherr gaping hole to fill.
If you can get a 1st and 3rd for Jake Long with his injury history as well as down year i will be amazed and would take that in a heartbeat.. Realistically we may get a conditional 2nd round pick if we traded Jake Long.
I do agree with you on Dansby though, We are not a contending roster right now and the picks as well as capspace are far more valuable to us then a 32 year old MLB. If we can get a 3rd and 6th rounder for him i will be satisfied.. However considering that Burnett has played ILB before i may be inclined to moving him to the middle this season after the year he had.
