White doesn't play in a 34, we have no idea how he would do

Actually I am not arguing either. All I can say is if anyone listened to our GM and Head Coach my guess is unless it is a deal we can't refuse we are in the DRAFT and DEVELOP mode. So we are going to covet all the picks we have.  After all this is not fantasy football where you just plug and play players. In case you missed it a couple comments from our management's answers to questions over the last few months.

"Free agents are certainly more expensive"

"We are in the draft and develop mode"

"We feel really good about the nucleus of young players that we have on the team"

"As you transition into more players on their second deals it becomes more difficult to improve your team with free agency"

"We want a good mix of our players on their first contract and second"

additionally Kahn recently made it clear money pushed into the future is restricted to OUR guys. (not free agents)

So unless these high priced guys want to come here on a dime with little or no impact on our draft capital my crystal ball sees it as a no go. Just my opinion, I have been in error before and will again..lol
