The issue was assuming MVS and Watson were going to be your reliable, go-to vets while you ushered in your youth movement.
Those moves turned into an even bigger catastrophe when Moore and Toney didn't take steps forward.
You can say that they used resources there, but they used a pair of 2nd round picks and traded a 3rd and then signed the cheapest options available.
That's a far cry from say....trading up in the 1st for a McDuffie.

All reports say they tried to trade up for Flowers in this draft but had no willing partners unless it was just a fleecing. In hindsight, Rice looks to be the deal. Also in hindsight, the 2022 WR class after the first round was shit... Pickens and his attitude is the only one with Ok numbers, anyone before and after is doing nothing.
