Probably best to just to hold players that are starter capable. One mistake I’ve seen myself and others make is we don’t factor injuries enough. It’s almost rare to go through a season healthy at a position group… like we did at OL in 2024. Yet the second we lose an OL or WR (or any position) we fold up like a tent. I’d rather not have injuries but they are a part of Roster planning. That depth guy we developed and traded away in hopes of a Day 3 selection could be the guy that comes in and shines.I learned that lesson from James Starks. He got his chance to shine and he came in motivated to prove himself.  Can you imagine had we traded him for a 4th rounder or 5th rounder? He not only elevated our backfield in the postseason, but he went on to become a mainstay in our Backfield for several seasons. That cat was 6th Round Rookie later in his first season he just popped and partly because he had a good team around him that encouraged him.</blockquote>
