[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 812681, member: 12283"] If you're not considering the league as a whole and simply demanding that your 3rd stringers be starting caliber because you want them to be, then I'd repeat that you're throwing a tantrum rather than providing analysis. Paying the 12M is one of two options. The other is to pay 7M not to have him. We're not talking about saving the 12, we're talking about saving the 5. Graham is grossly overpaid and I never wanted him in the first place, but it makes way more sense to keep him for 12 than to ditch him for 7. They can cut him after the 2019 season and only have about 3.5 in dead money. You don't know where the rookies will be in year two. But you don't spend all that draft capital on the position, spend all those snaps developing them with experience (in which they've shown real promise), and then squander those investments by replacing them. Allison has already proven to be capble if they aren't so your downside is minimal. And while he can play the slot, he's more of an outside receiver. I believe Allison was clocked with one of the fastest on field speeds this season if I'm not mistaken. Whatever you think about Lowry and Lancaster, they're definitely good enough to be on the roster, along with Clark and Daniels. There's four players right there on the DL. You originally said the Packers need 6 (six!) defensive linemen. That's utterly ridiculous. You want them to roster 10? 5 outside linebackers is possiblie if you want to add 2-3 to the in house guys. 6 is unrealistic. Saying we need four outside linebackers is also unrealistic. In a capped league, teams depend on development coming from talent on rookie contracts. You can't just sign a guy at every spot where you have someone developing. There isn't enough space to go around. Thus good teams draft, develop, and use FA to fill the gaps (or capitalize on the rare blue chip player that actually makes it to market). If you invest draft capital on talent and then never give that talent a chance to develop before you go and invest money in replacing it, you're hamstringing yourself and will never actually build a sustainable, competitive roster. You are advocating for the Miami Dolphins model of roster building. [/QUOTE]
