Chicago dumps some luggage and Denver gets two projects with little risk. Both players are moved back a level in defense with Crawford taking on a LB role and Jean goes to CB. With the loss of weight these players could get even faster.
There's one thing I can say is that this rookie GM gets it.
I jump on multiple teams that past GM's struggled before moving on. There has been one common denominator with each team besides cap issues. And that's lack of speed.
To all rookie GM's, this game plays a lot like RL with respect to speed and strength. Gotta have em. A player can have all the skills in the world, but if he can't get to where he needs to be he can't use those skills. Because your opponent is already gone.
