It’s easy to say we’re only a couple of picks away from something good, but then the guys hit the field and someone tears a cruciate or breaks a collarbone or what have you and all the plans start to be recalibrated. Maybe a guy who looks like a certain long-term starter stinks up the season. Looking ahead to next season as if everything is set in stone is a dangerous game when we haven’t even played a game of this one.

Secondly, a team of rookies without any veteran leadership is a bit dodge in my view. You say to save money and ‘waste’ it only when necessary – I’d like them to never waste money! Spend it wisely, dammit! Lol. Ironically, it’s whether we have a top five pick that will determine how much money we’re forced to spend / guarantee next year. Ultimately, saving money is irrelevant, getting good players on the roster is all that matters. I’d rather go 13-3 with little cap room than go 3-13 with plenty.
