What about him?


We didn't trade away our most valuable asset just for offensive line help.

Also trading away Kenny Stills and Ben Grubbs allowed us to draft PJ Williams and Tyler Davison.

We invested a lot in the defense.

Lasted all of one season in KC. Good move by our FO. We could probably bring him back for the vet min if we wanted to (though he may not be healthy).

Right, we got offensive line help, one of the best centers in the NFL, and a first round pick.

We then turned around and selected another offensive lineman in the first round with our highest pick, and addressed defense with pick #31.

I'd consider that a pretty heavy investment in the offensive line

Ben Grubbs was getting cut as a salary cap casualty. He was underwhelming for the price. Kenny Stills was traded away for off the field issues.

And yes, we invested heavily in defense, because our defense was terrible and the whole Junior situation.

We also invested heavily in the offensive line. Kind of important for a QB.

understand. It was a great trade on our part, but my point was they used it to shore up the defense.



While ignoring that we also received one of the top centers in the NFL and ignoring that we also used our first pick on the offensive line?
