Nah, I’m reasonable. I’m more interested in what the WRs picked after him do, and if the idea that this was a deep class holds up.

We gave up a lot for Olave. But we won't know if it was worth it until 2-3 years down the line and we see how the others pan out.


We didn't think MT13 was THAT much of a steal until we saw how bad the other WRs taken were. Now we understand we got an insane value. It's one of the reasons I'm not rushing to overreact that we paid so much. Did we? Yes. But if go on an improbable run and he torches teams in the playoffs and helps us win a SB...we really gonna be complaining about how much we gave up?

I mean it's way more likely that one of the guys behind him outplay him. Taking the field isn't much of a statement.

The question is whether a specific player behind him is the clear better pick. And, the next question is whether that player would have been there at 16.

I think Williams is that guy...but there was zero chance he would have been there at 16.
