Why the low draft grades?

I like the players, not the resources given away.

And frankly, I think we could compete and not giving away as many future resources.

There are many decisions to be made in the near future, and we are limiting our choices by giving so many resources away.

Certainly, I am more conservative than Mickey.

The cap just went up a lot and it’s about to go up a lot more.

It made a lot more sense for us to give up a couple mid-round picks and pay a potential co-number 1 WR a rookie contract (instead of an $80-million deal like Hollywood Brown is about to get and Christian Kirk already got) rather than try to get a couple decent players in the mid-rounds who may or may not take the place of aging vets.
