I thought I made my argument pretty simple, but as usual it seems the conversation has gotten off track.
-I believe we now need WR help. (Seems pretty obvious to me)
-I think a veteran WR (Think Nate Washington, or someone similar, at around 2-4 mil on short deal) is a better option than a late 3rd round rookie for this season.
-Even with a WR taken earlier, I still think we can use some veteran depth.
-I'm willing to sacrifice said compensatory pick (later 3rd rounder) to bring in a veteran than can help and provide depth immediately.
-I think we can afford the small price tag (2-4 mil).
-I have a hard time understanding valuing compensatory picks, which we've used to draft turd after turd, so much, to the point that you'll ignore immediate needs.
Now if you disagree with any of this, then more power to you. But please try to debate these things, as this is what I was arguing.
I don't need to see them go crazy. I'm not even sure I would call it urgency, as we're talking about such small amounts of money. All I question is why, when we have the ability to win now, we're ignoring needs to hoard compensatory picks, who may never help, and if they do, will most likely be years down the road.
