exactly. They got distracted by the fact Stafford went to the Rams and got caught trying to keep up with the joneses instead of focusing on their team and the fact they were close.
They spent THREE 1rst rounders on lance?
Just imagine what they could have done using the Rams’ formula?
They could have brought in guys like…OBJ, vmiller, etc..
It costs a little more because you aren’t drafting rookie contracts, but you get some great, proven players like Ramsey and Stafford.
You hit it on the head. The better the roster/closer to a title a team might be, the more you need a proven high end player to put you over the top—not a developmental guy.
At the very least, you draft a day one starter.
In the case of lance, there were 3 first rounders sitting on the bench when the 9ers lost a very close title game. Ouch!
