Polian has issues at the dt spot year after year he couldn’t fix through the draft. He signed his own free agents to hefty deals. He couldn’t draft well enough to put together complete teams.
You go all in to win. That doesn’t mean you can’t also plan for the future. I am not calling for a max spend every year. Guys like Mitchell and Inman are a perfect example of guys I am talking about. They vastly improved our depth at least. Both should be starters. They aren’t impeding anyone’s progress.

Okay, let's play this out, but you have to look at it as though it were July 2018. You cannot use the time since then in your argument.
In July 2018, you had these players rostered at those positions:
WR:
Hilton
Grant
Rogers
Cain
Fountain
Safety:
Hooker
Geathers
Farley
At WR, I'll acknowledge an argument that Inman might be a slight upgrade to Grant/Rogers, but I don't think that was obvious at the time. I would have been against adding Inman at the time because he would take reps away from the rookies, particularly Cain. At that point, you would be adding Inman primarily in a ST role, which he doesn't fit.
At safety, it's a similar situation. Your argument amounts to advocating that they should have cut Farley and replaced him with Mitchell. |
