Bushrod came because Gase convinced him. Tunsil fell in our laps by the grace of bong.
Kiko was a great add but we didn't do anything to bolster talent or depth. We scrapped at the bottom of the barrel to find Donald Butler. Misi and Jenkins have long history of being made of glass.
Relying on Maxwell to replace Grimes wasn't an upgrade but basically a lateral move.
Buffalo could have never paid Clay if we franchised and signed him longer term a year later when they were out of Rex F-You money.
I have to disagree with you on Grimes. He was terrible last season. Especially against the bills and jets, go back and watch those 4 games. Tannenbaum went out and got the players that fit Gase's and Joseph's system.
