We needed to replace Colvin, but there were other good nickel CBs available for less than half of what Hayden got. Even before the Chark pick, we had three starting WRs in Lee, Cole, and Westbrook. Mickens looked OK as a backup too, and the Jags have been very good at finding good undrafted WRs.

The problem is not our cap room in 2018. I just wonder if, instead of those two, the roughly $20M in cap space could have been rolled over to next year when there will be lots of contracts up for renewal. Does the NFL still allow cap rollover, and if so would the Jags be eligible after having spent below the cap for so many years? If no to either question, then those two signings were not out of line.

What other nickel backs were out there for half the price? I recall looking at the list of those available, and it was a very short list. 

As for their combined cap hit, and just to be more accurate, it's more like roughly $17 mil.

I was personally fine with what we had on the roster.  Do Moncrief and Hayden improve the roster?  Probably a little, but it's not likely that they make it significantly better.  I hope they do though. 
Meh, Coughlin is adept at pushing money out into the future, which is what we're going to have to do a lot more of now.  At least it's a lot harder to find "cap hell" these days than it was in his first time around here.
