Kendrick's a good option to have vs teams like SF who want to underneath the fuck out of you for 90 minutes. The boy is hard nosed out there in his tackling, he's physical which helps vs bigger wideouts, and he can look great as long as you're not putting him on a dude with real juice.
It felt like what we needed was a corner who could handle the top draws. Then the rest of these guys sort where they should be in favorable matchups vs most offenses. But I get how they approached it, by focusing on finishing up the front. It was the front where we came up short most vs Philly in the regular season. You can't fix everything in one season and there is some potential for some of these guys to improve still.
But back to Ramsey the problem is he's no longer the dude who can snuff out that top draw who has real juice. And I don't think he was that dude before the Rams traded him either, it was already showing. So for this season I'd take Ramsey if he's affordable, for a one year run. Going forward though in that 2026 draft we need to invest in a top corner who can lock shit down.
I am looking at 2025 alone, right now.
Ramsey isn't the CB he used to be, but he's better than all of our CBs we have right now. The immediacy of now, or maybe never, with Stafford and this team getting a second Super Bowl win us here. With two 1st rounders next year, means almost certainly getting the QB of the future, along with more draft capital to secure their guy. It will probably take 3 first rounders to get who they really covet, which means we probably can't get a top flight CB next year.
This is ok if we win a Super Bowl in 2025.
Get it done, Les. Easy or hard to do, get it done.
