[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 836131"] Actually, it is exactly that, spending cap in one placed deprives you of opportunities in other places. It is a zero sum game. Did it cross your mind that there is no viable solution to a Rodgers injury, or one to Brady or Brees or Wilson or Ryan or Rivers or Luck or any other guy deemed "franchise" with the vet salary to go with it? Well, there are two possible solutions: 1) Draft a QB who turns out to be Jimmy Goroppolo in his first 4 seasons on a cheap rookie deal. Of course you won't know if he's any d*mn good until you are forced to play him. For now, the 2019 draft is past. Lets see what happens on this score a year from now. 2) You string together a series of good-to-great drafts, accumulating a large group of stars and core players in a 4 year window where they are all on their cheap rookie deals. Then you have a bunch of players performing well above their pay, leaving cap for a luxury acqusition like a $7 mil backup QB. That's if you can find one worth that money willing to play backup while knowing that other player you forego might be the critical difference. In any event, the Packers do not have those stacked drafts, at least not yet. So that's another consideration in putting this proposition off until next year. [/QUOTE]
