Taking Travon Walker over Aidan Hutchinson may be an even bigger gaffe. What the **** was that all about?

Hines-Allen and Hutchinson would be the best EDGE duo in the league and they'd both be locked up for years. But nope.

Taking him over Hutchinson was just being too clever by half. Sometimes you just take the really good football player, fellas... |

Yeah, that one stings.
On another note....do they wanna trade Walker maybe? |

I think we could trade for prime Reggie White and the end result would be long conversations about how great he is at setting the edge. (And he won't be very good at THAT either...) It's remarkable how little we've gotten from that spot over the years. |

Just such a blind spot at DE. I can't figure it out. |

Hell, if they're about to blow the whole thing up I'd call up Pederson before he's fired and ask what he'd want. Walker isn't bad at all, he's just not going to be a DPOY candidate like Hutchinson and probably shouldn't have went #1 overall.

And it's not entirely fair to discount the Omenihu signing. He was as advertised once he came back and got into football shape. That looked like a true impact signing....until it didn't. The Danna one is just awfully odd to me. Essentially 2 years and $15 million for a guy who's really a guy who's probably little more than a strong backup and is clearly mis-cast in a weakside DE role. I guess they really trust that Omenihu will be back by the post-season and at full gallop. That just seems a risky gamble on an ACL. Because it feels like you could've cut him and saved Danna's money and found a higher quality starting DE for the money you've spent. |

They just can't seem to hit high average wise on DE's. I dunno what it is. |

I mean, they really haven't tried that often? Before Karlaftis the last one they drafted relatively high was Speaks. They put all their eggs in the Clark basket.

I'm hard pressed to find a position they've put MORE draft/cap capital into in the Mahomes era than DE. They've damn sure put more into it than they have OT. |

2 1sts and a quasi 1st (2nd that we traded down on) is in fact a pretty damn good attempt at trying to address the issue.

That's like what, 3 1's on a spot?
Karlaftis has hit very well so that's good but outside that....not alot to show for it. |

If you've already checked out on FAU then yeah, it's looking pretty dire.
