You are right about seeing what we have.  My point is that we KNOW what we have with Briggs.  IF JA was wrong about Okwo & williams and we let LB go, then that is just one more hole to fill.

Unless Angelo was just drafting back-ups this whole time, some of these guys have to step up eventually. I'd see what the market is and sign Briggs if it's reasonable, but I assume they drafted those guys to start and you would hope that those were good picks.
