How’d that work with Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry or…Saquon Barkley? Did Saquon matter?
There are people who think Nick Bolton has immense value despite not being a premium position. Same with Justin Reid.
Landon Dickerson was also very important and essentially shut down Chris Jones. You think that’s not valuable because he’s a G?
Just stack as many good players as you can and keep going after positional value.

Position value relative to other positions.
And I supported Veach when he went after Josh Jacobs. Would have went after Henry too. I value RB higher than guard. Compare the contracts to what Trey is getting on the franchise tag and it's not even close. 2 years 16 mil vs 1 year 23 mil. So yeah I don't really see the point of bringing up those RBs when I think most people value an elite RB higher than an elite guard.
And if the roster was elite at damn near every position like the eagles, no one would care about this franchise tag. It's only an issue because there are other holes on the roster including a canyon at LT, and giving a guard 23mil guaranteed for this one year may impact how aggressive you can be filling those holes.
