The DT group is a bit thing for my liking but if Pennel can do yeoman work in there, it turns to a strength.

The DE group needs Cam Thomas to be Danna 2.0 until Omenihu hopefully comes back healthy and the 2nd Cb is scaryish.

Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, Butker and Creed.

Probably have 2 on defense, maybe McDuffie instead of Creed?

Nah.

Berry at his apex was unreal. Hicks looks starting caliber but not Berry.

Maybe Greg Wesley?

He looks way more like Honey Badger II to me.

Nobody looks like Eric Berry he was one of a kind, good and bad

That was a forgone conclusion I believe.

Kam Chancellor is pretty unique.

That dude was effectively a LBer at safety (for good and bad).

I don't think he's terribly similar to Chancellor. Kam couldn't cover for shit and was a kill-shot waiting to happen. Hicks is much more moderate in that regard. Better in coverage, not as physical in run support or in coverage.

That's not a bad thing at all - I'd rather have Hicks by a fair bit. I just don't think there's much of a comparison there.

Among current guys maybe someone like Darnell Savage? Maybe similar to Byard when he had a little more speed?

I hope he's not Savage he's been pretty meh.

A JAG of all trades if you will. I love him

He’s Sorensen without the mean nasty streak that Dirty Dan had.
