I agree that PLD for Laine was a reasonable trade and made sense at the time. I know that you aren't going to replace Buff. My opinion is totally hindsight, but I think if you went back and traded Laine for a strong #1 D the Jets would be in a different place right now.
And totally agree that it's surprising how long of a leash Chevy had. I feel like most teams would rather keep the devil they know vs making a large change. Having someone under you who isn't performing keeps the spotlight on them, but replacing that person puts the spotlight on you if they can't perform any better.
