I'd rather give the playing time to youngster who might actually be here when we're done rebuilding, save the money for FA next year, and get a higher draft pick to boot....
or sign more old Vets, hell why not...that strategy has a proven track record of success in KC....
whatever, I just want to be a true fan  |
This argument has so many holes, I don't even know where to start.
You have no idea whether we would get a top 5 or top 15 draft pick regardless if we started Edwards or a rookie 7th rounder.
If we did draft that high, you have no idea what would become of that said player. The last time we picked near 5, we have a fat, unmotivated pile of garbage taking up 2nd place on our non-existent DT depth chart.
I don't know how this team will shape up come September, but I'm happy about the additions thusfar, and the subtractions that came with the additions. Adding Donnie, who has played better the last 2 years than I have ever seen him, is not an indication that this team doesn't want to get younger.
It's an indication that if you have a lot of youth around you (Allen, Hali, DJ, Nap, Page, Pollard) then you need some vets to help lead the way. I think the biggest problem last year was Kawika tried to be a leader, and not one person on defense gave a rat's ass about what he was saying.
That changes with someone like Donnie.
