Clements is all but gone.
Any team that hasnt watched him that closely this year will think that he is still a great CB. He played awful this year. Other teams will pay more for him than we will.
Levy wont tie up 8 mil of our cap on this guy through a franchise tag.
Hes gone, and whne he is, CB becomes our #1 need.
Now, it could be handled through FA, but will we sign Charles Woodson to some huge contract? Maybe. Probably not.
I think its likely that we fix our O-line interior and add at least one big DT FA before the draft.
That means CB is our #1 need going into the draft. There is simply no way in hell that we pass on Jimmy Williams or Mike Huff, both who could be shut down corners, for a pass rushing DE (when Schobel just had 12 sacks), a DT (when we just signed one in FA), or OT (when its not even our biggest o-line need).
Even if ALL of those spots were equal needs, many teams would STILL take the CB OVER those other positions because its so hard to get good ones that you can trust one on one with the top WR's.
Its conjecture based on what happens early in FA, but I can completely see us taking Williams or Huff.
