No, I think you do. “A draft bust is a highly touted or highly selected draftee who does not meet expectations. This can be due to a variety of reasons, but the most often noted are injury and/or inability to perform at a professional level.” Davenport is the definition of a bust, he cost 2 firsts and has 19.5 sacks in 4 seasons because he can’t stay healthy.-he ranked 7th in QBR with the worst pass-catching group in the entire league. Not sure what you want out of him.
-you really need to look up what an NFL bust is if you think Davenport is a bust lol
-that’s a massive assumption. We have no clue if we could have made the same deal.
-the point is incorrect in a salary cap league. You have to pick and choose where you spend.
Anything else?
It’s hardly a massive assumption. Obviously we don’t know exactly what the cost would have been but there is hardly a huge difference between trading up from 16 and trading up from 18. No one needs a time machine to see that we could have got Olave without giving up our 2023 first.
And the point, quite literally, isn’t “incorrect”. We tagged Marcus Williams at $13.5 million. Hendrickson signed a long term contract with the Bengals and his 2021 cap hit was $12.5 million. It would have cost less, for the 2021 season, to extend him instead of tagging Williams.
