This is where you fills "needs," and you have to pay out the ass for it. Don't want to get ****ed over by the market? Then don't draft like shit and create holes for your franchise.
And the only way to do the latter is to consistently get the most amount of talent possible, which speaks to a BPA approach.

It will be curious to see Dorsey's approach once this team is established. Reid and Dorsey both seem to value signing ther own as the #1 priority. Dorsey's outside moves in free agency seem very stopgap (short-term contract, overpay but mostly inexpensive, low signing bonus so easy to cut). Rather than sign outside free agents long-term, he signs them short-term until they can draft a replacement or sign someone cheap.
If his draft picks don't pan out, this strategy doesn't work. And I'm curious if he keeps this strategy up as the team becomes his own or if he'll start placing bigger free agency bets. Hard to say -- his approach this year, after all, is a complete 180 from the approach last year.
