That 30 yr old LB may still be available after the draft. Then you go get him. I can't think of his name, the safety they signed after the second week and he played well and coached up the younger DB's. Those guys are out there, so what's the urgency of signing a vet now?

I’m honestly not sure what anything you said has to do with what I said.
Of course I know Ballard doesn’t care what I or anyone else thinks. And he shouldn’t.
Are you arguing that if we had signed a vet in their spot that Nelson or Leonard may not be as good as they are? If so then the coaching staff sucks - unless the guys Ballard signed where pro bowl caliber. And if that’s the case then I’d say it’s a good problem to have.
Who said anything about signing a guy now? I commented on the mindset of not bringing in a vet player because he may take snaps from young guy. Before or after the draft wasn’t part of anything said. Although I would say waiting to acquire players until after the draft doesn’t make sense in most situations except maybe early first rounders. Otherwise the BPA approach everyone talks about is BS. Ballard can’t know who he’s going to draft. Holding open playing time for a 3rd-7th roudnder is ridiculous. Make them earn it.
