We basically forfeited this season to hoard picks so EDC better fucking nail that shit or we'll look like one of those teams with a disgruntled franchise QB.
i mean did we though?
we have basically no cap space to bring in anyone - we've not had a full 53 on the roster basically since week 1 for cap purposes - we tried bringing a couple of guys in and we were even offering up a 1st round pick to the dolphins to try and get them to pay howard's salary this year...
we need more than just 1 player to infuse talent into this team - the only way to get that sort of energy and youth infusion is through the draft
our 2016 class was pretty great because we hoarded those picks - we screwed up our 2nd and 3rd round picks but still ended up with tons of talent and depth
our 2018 class was pretty incredible with those collected picks (yes we borrowed the 2nd rounder from 2019 to go get lamar but we also had tons of other picks available too) - we got 6 starters from that class and then 3 more that have started for other teams...
our 2020 class with all those day 2 picks is up in the air right now - we've got 4 or 5 guys who've been in and out of the mix for starting spots but not quite grabbed them with both hands yet
the point of hoarding the picks is not to nail every single one of them (although that's obviously the dream) but to spread out the risk across multiple prospects and increase your chances significantly of finding good or even great players
