possibly but how often are we letting big money players actually leave when they have enough value on the open market to warrant getting a decent pick?

To your point, not often, but when they do, play the game. If you get good at drafting/developing, then you should be playing the game with all the picks. So far though, I haven't seen evidence that we can do that consistently. 2022 sucked, though KAM's 2023 class looks good. There weren't a lot of picks for this class, but it looks promising. I hope, however, that we aren't consistently looking at only 4-5 picks each draft.

so in your scenario would you recommend not signing a Greenard to ensure you have a comp pick coming in 2025 for losing Hunter?

I get what you are saying but you don't just wake up and have enough talent currently on your roster at the top that you are comfortable enough to let walk because you have in house replacements. That takes 5 years or more of successful drafting and development. There's also an element of drafting, developing and retaining your own players and trying to win with them which is what we saw from 2015-2019

Especially with the supposed formula being a secret that the NFL doesn't release to the public. Sure over the cap is good at speculating but at the end of the day they are just making educated guesses. Definitely not something worth getting upset about

Interesting stuff. Apparently it can't be known until the season is over. I'm just glad we didn't *poop*

away our 2025 first rounder. We may REALLY need that if JJ gets an early chance and "Rosen's up the place."

I am definitely not saying that. I wouldn't have signed Griffen though if it cost that. Like everything, it's an opportunity cost, and if you can play it you should. We all want to win a SB, and the trick to doing it is ultimately surplus value. That's what people are arguing for when you get that QBOTF on the cheap contract. It let us spend what we were spending on Kirk on Greenard and several more very good pieces. That's how you build a team.

But said players will get expensive. If JJM succeeds, he's going to cost a ton of money. If KAM can't consistently find good talent in the draft, well... guess what, we'll be in trouble. Period. Having extra picks helps.. Obviously, we have to hit on them and that's a combination of luck and skill.

I'm not questioning the merits of having extra picks. I'm saying it's not something to nitpick Kwesi over. Having extra picks isn't the only way to build depth. You have cap space and udfa as well. Also ultimately if this team is going to compete then you have to have high end elite talent and if it takes a few extra picks to get those types of players then so be it

To be clear, I've been pretty pro-KAM this offseason. I think he did a very good job. On that statement, I'd agree with you. I'd have re-signed Hunter, so had that happened, we have one 3rd anyway. I agree, in that I'm not going to nitpick too much here other than that if signing Griffin cost us a 3rd vs. a 6th, that hurt and probably wasn't worth the signing unless Griffin turns out to be a stud. I would have traded for 23 and then made the trade ups for Turner/JJM 10 times out of 10 given the context, and I think he did quite well in FA too. I will be concerned if long term we find ourselves without many day 2/early day 3 picks. He's going to need to be able to use picks in those areas. If that means better scouts/analysts, so be it. But this team should not consistently be throwing those picks away unless KAM proves to be an absolute genius at acquiring players at below market costs.
