3CB is a defacto starter and we signed one of the best in Hilton for 5.3M this year. Allen comes in just under 1.5M. Both of those positions needed filled. If you sign a lesser CB and save a million dollars, that doesn't change the fact that they have money to spend.
Bottom line is OL was a huge need and they still have work to do. Don't let that need change your view of other needs being filled with reasonable resources. If they spent 4M for a 3rd Safety I'd agree with you. Instead, this year's OL prospects (OT specifically) could make for great value. I don't like drafting need, but things could line up for them to get the 2nd BPA overall at 5 (Sewell) and with the depth of the class end up with another OL a round grade higher (late 2nd rated OL at the top of the 4th).
