The salaries got way out of hand this season.
Without a top 10 OL and a top 10 QB, how can you get justifiable results for a huge FA signing?
What are you saying? That they should focus on the OL and the QB until those positions are top 10?

Ya it'll be very interesting to see what we do.
The sensible thing is either a WR or CB with our 1st pick. Get the ball downfield, or shore up the backfield. Really need talent at CB, so that makes sense.
But when we picked TGII, many thought this was a "luxury pick" that we could ill afford. We still had Zac Stacy ("yikes"), Benny, Tre, etc. and had soo many other needs. But, when he had the ball... look out. Even in the Loo, with Fisher still the HC, the Rams became that much more relevant & started showing up on the ESPN reels.
We've already spent some capital on KW & BC, and both of these guys are really good -- but with a stable of KW, BC & JEANTY.... and maybe a speedy X in rd 3 or 4... this O will become really dangerous.
I still will pound the table for a CB in rd 1, but let's see where Snead goes. If CB & WR are really deep, and both are positions of need... I'm thinking Les trades down to get an extra 2nd or 3rd so we can get BOTH.

No.
What I am saying is if you pay somebody like Jefferson but take him from the vikings and put him on say, the titans, he won’t put up the same numbers or have as many impactful plays. That team is not good enough at QB/OL to get the most out of his talent. So why pay that kind of $$ for a WR when you really need help somewhere else that’s more important—like QB?
