I’ve mentioned many times that I want to upgrade SS. It was one of the big reasons I wanted to sign Landon Collins and I didn’t want to get E Thomas.
Not seeing Dix as very much of an upgrade over Heath does not equal wanting to keep Heath as a starter.
Hopefully, that upgrade comes via the draft.
The only problem is you have now set yourself up to have to get a S in the draft, and then that puts you in a spot where you might have to go need over best player.
It’s why I would have taken a flier on Dix or go get Iloka or Phillips. All three will likely be on cheap, one year deals, are an upgrade over Heath and don’t hamstring your cap much this year and are gone after a year if you find someone better. Plus those guys don’t preclude you from taking a S if the right one falls to you in the draft.
I think it’s kind of foolish to just always assume you’ll find that starter in the draft if there are some cheap options available to you.
