[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 855075, member: 12283"] They did. They had a lot of money tied up in the offense, generally, and very little in the defense. That's obviously not the tactic that the current front office is taking. Of course I want this offense to be dynamic, but I believe that continued investment in the offensive line is more important to that effort than adding another expensive wide receiver. If our OT position falls apart, I don't care who they have at wide receiver. I think the offense would be much better off if they kept Bulaga, signed a modest veteran at receiver, and drafted a dynamic player at the position high in the draft than if they traded their top pick for OBJ and had to subsequently allow their elite RT to walk. I would point out some relevant examples. The Rams came into this season with the premier trio of receivers in the league. When their OL was performing in recent seasons, the offense was awesome! But during the second half last season, and to begin this season, the OL took a total nose dive and all that receiver talent didn't matter. Or how about Odell's current team? Everyone gushed over the talent at the skill positions for the Browns all offseason. None of it has really mattered. Lastly, if one isn't inclined to resign Bulaga because of age/durability, OK. But in that scenario, you will absolutely have to use your 1st round pick (and probably more, to trade up) to take his replacement. You aren't finding a replacement in free agency that will be anywhere near as good as Bulaga, and even someone serviceable is going to cost more than they can afford after investing 14M more in cap space into a wide receiver.
