I agree. You take a football player when you see a good, quality football player. It has to make sense on paper and with what you have pending on your roster going into that year and next year, etc. 

They could have done maybe more work in free agency as well or tried turning the waiver wire or trade mill. I still think it's pretty wild we had 13 selections back in April and only addressed this group twice.

On the opening night of the draft and then it was static until the final day of the draft. Very, very risky and we're seeing the effects of it now. Maybe we should have signed Risner.

I just think their draft board was horrible seeing some of the picks they made and who was available.  I mean they had Walker higher on their board than Hutch and Hutch is leading the league in pressures right now and and he also has 4 INTs and the other 4 players taken in the top 5 last year all have 4 INTs combined and 2 of them are corners lol.  Everyone laughed at us last year when we did that and rightfully so.   We pass on a lot of great players that a lot of us want every year and they always cut up, it's crazy
