I get the strategy of drafting the 2 tackles to offset the possibility of paying out 2 huge contracts to vets next year, but what was the cost of this kind of thinking on the field in 2015? You've got you're 1 and 2 draft picks that won't have major roles if all goes well. One probably won't see the field until late November, if at all in 2015.
Meanwhile, you're a team with hopes of making noise in the postseason that passed up opportunities to draft players that could help this season if need be. 1st round wry that contribute in year one aren't nearly as rare as they once were. The team also has all 3 of it's top wrs up for FA next season, just like at OT.
It's going to sting if this team ends up in another 2014 injury situation at the offensive skill spots and we are subjected to the Greg Littles and Coby Hamiltons of the world trying to carry any hope of an effective offense in the playoffs while Cedric is sitting on the sidelines waiting for 2016 to get here. Just zero urgency in this organization.
Back ups are back ups.
We are just as likely to have an OT injured as we are to have a WR injured.
