I'd Feel Better about the Saints if...

I think you're being a little harsh on the Chase Young contract. His contract is slotted between Bryce Huff and Dayo Odeyingbo. Huff was an absolute bust of a signing last year for the Eagles and pretty much relegated to the bench. He only has one year of playing more than 30% of the defensive snaps. Odeyingbo was signed by the Bears this year and has less of a resume than Young.

I can understand not wanting the player, but it wasn't an overpay.

Well its an overpay relative to Fowler's deal. Not sure if comparing Fowler to Young is apples to apples, but I think I would rather have Fowler than Young. Young just didn't look like a forceful player to me even though the ranking services have him fairly high in "pressures", but low to average in sack totals. And you don't know if the Saints had a shot at Fowler anyway.
