Agreed. Doug was telling Baalke not to overthink it - ie, probably take Hutchinson. I hope he learns his lesson moving forward. We’ll see. I’m also ticked off about Robinson’s extension and continuing to play him over Little because of it. Baalke doubles down on stupid instead of cutting his losses.

I heard a story from a guy who used to be 'round here: The jags were in love with Darrelle Revis: talked with him, worked him out and told him (on the DL) he was their pick. The jets liked him too, but we're weighing their options. They heard how enamored with him the jags were, picked him and asked the jags for a kings ransom. The jags didn't want to pay the price, and the rest is history.
 I wonder if Baalke could've done the same with Gardner or Hutchinson.
