The **** it's not.
Tyson Jackson was drafted with the 3rd overall pick and given 57 million dollars. He was drafted and paid like a player who should be a franchise cornerstone, not a one-dimensional defensive end.
By all means, if you want to finish 2-14 continue to load up on top three picks like Tyson Jackson. Meanwhile, teams that actually win in the playoffs will take players who can give you that level of production in the 3rd-5th rounds.
For the level of investment, Tyson Jackson is a horrible ****ing player, just like for the level of investment Matt Cassel was a horrible ****ing player. If Cassel was given the league minimum and told to battle it out for the 3rd QB spot he's an asset. When he's your franchise player, you be ****ed.
The mere fact that this has to even be explained is absolutely flabbergasting.
