Fair enough. Here's a list of guys who made the top 100 free agents on nfl.com. Hart and Miller were nowhere to be seen on the list.

Daryl Williams - 1 year/$7 million - all-pro in 2017
Rodger Saffold - 4 years/$44 million - some will say this is too much, but looking at the rising costs of o-linemen or even looking at what we paid for Hart and Miller, this contract looks downright fair. And you're getting a great player.
DJ Fluker - 2 years/$9 million - the guy performed in Seattle. Better than Hart and cheaper to boot.
James Carpenter - 4 years/$21 million - again, probably better than what we got.
Ja'Wuan James - 4 years/$51 million - it's a pretty big contract, but substantially less than Trent Brown. Do we want a good line or not? The Rams gave whit a big contract. We sat on the sidelines.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
