Six months is VERY aggressive for a torn Achilles. It's usually a year for normal people and nine months for professional athletes even. Akers was an anomaly.

This, and you never know if you’ll be back to 100%.  The stakes are too high, in my opinion, to take a chance on a player with a major injury no matter how good a prospect looks.  Was it Miles Jack who was regarded as the best linebacker in the draft, got hurt, a team took a chance on him high in the draft, and since then, he’s been only a slightly above average linebacker?  The draft is already such a crapshoot.  Used to drive me nuts when TT would draft players with major injury histories.  We’ve been burned every single time.

How would people feel if they went "all-in" on the defensive front? Just as an example:

Admittedly I like Pierce and Ezukanma and they're available later than I think they should be here, so I think they'd have two receivers who coukls contribute right away,  but swap them with Watson and Doubs, or a similar combo. There is some appeal to saying "You're not going to run on us and we're coming after your QB."

A DL rotation of Clark, Lowry, Slaton, Wyatt and Jones sounds pretty tempting.

Mafe replaces Z and Malone being a better Fackrell rush specialist. Fayed may get some snaps and be a Special Teamers thumper.

Chenal replaces the pedestrian Barnes as an enforcer and plays Special Teams.
