The impact safety also allows Haslett to blitz more creatively. It's the biggest hole on our entire team given the way we play.
Other than Byrd, I'm with Matty. Keep it cool calm and collected, and wait to see what falls to us.

I would definitely be on board with going after Byrd as our one big splurge. He could be a big difference maker as you point out.
