For those who are more conservative... yes, others, not at all. For me, I think that they are still digging out of the massive talentless hole that Rivera left for them so, "overpay" is a necessary component.
I started to write about this in a new thread, but since you've asked, this is not yet a fully functional organization because of the previous group. They can't be more heavily reliant on the draft because they have a QB on a rookie deal and the "talent" around him was simply not good enough to be competitive.
Here's a look at their first draft...
- Jayden Daniels: Quarterback from LSU, selected second overall in the first round
- Ben Sinnott: Tight end from Kansas State, selected 53rd overall in the second round
- Mike Sainristil: Defensive back from Michigan, selected 50th overall in the second round
Sorry for the long response, but as I stated this was supposed to be part of my annual review.
- Luke McCaffrey: Wide receiver from Rice, selected 100th overall in the third round
- Jordan Magee: Linebacker from Temple, selected 139th overall in the fifth round
- Brandon Coleman: Guard from TCU, selected 67th overall in the third round
- Dominique Hampton: Safety from Washington, selected 161st overall in the fifth round
- So, I ask you and everyone else, what were they supposed to do with that? Sorry, they had to fill the gaps with veterans, and still do, sometimes "overpaying" for the privilege, until that drafted/ free agent balance is switched around. To that end, I'll ask this... is it possible that AP as I am not overly enamored with this draft class? Wouldn't that explain his ease with using draft capital via trades?
i have said something similar. You forgot Newton.. just bustin your chops. thanks for the response.
