No offense to Peppers and his ability, but Cleveland still has a fairly young defense and Pryor brings some experience to a young DB group. Peppers played very little safety in college and he's about to play 1000 snaps at the highest level. Adding Pryor to the group can help everyone. Maybe not for IDP purposes, but we all know NFL coaches don't make moves for fantasy nuts like us. Lol.

Everything I've read about Gregg Williams is that his LB's stay on the field. Since Collins & Kirksey both inked long-term deals, I would expect them to remain on the field in subs.

I think Peppers & Pryor could end up sharing duties at SS, and/or playing together. If Kindred has improved from his rookie season, perhaps a 3 man rotation at safety could happen. Campbell may be the odd man out in the secondary.

Having said all this, I could be 100% wrong, so take it fwiw.

I think it will be Kirksey personally. I don't know that this trade does much to help him tho, he was already gonna be an every snap LB1

We say that, but it's not always the case. It's scheme dependent.

In Dallas, Sean Lee is the WLB but he's the LB to own (even when they had McLain playing)

In Tampa up until 2016, David was the LB to own even tho he's the WLB. Similar situation in Jax, where Smith & Poz both were productive but Smith was the better play.

I don't think either guy has much value but I'd rather take a stab on Pryor. We saw Demario play a ton of snaps on a terrible D last year and his production still sucked. In NY, he's the #3 LB at best. Only has value in a 16-team league where you start 3-5 LBs
