It wouldn't be very expensive just to promote Strong from assistant head coach. They'd have the benefit of four games with a guy the players respect rather than a guy they clearly don't.
We don't know how the top defensive players will fare through the bowl season and the Combine. One of those guys could emerge, and I think it's too early to give up on Lawrence. Premium edge rushers are more and more valuable these days.
I'd say the Jets are also in the shitshow department, but they pick twice right near the top - they could turn what's already not a terrible defense into a force. (editing, they have become pretty bad on defense, and it might not just be the DE injury).
If you need a quarterback, though, you're in bad shape.
