And giving up a 7th for Hughes 'concerns' you?
The Israeli/Palestinian conflict concerns me. Covid variants concern me. Mahomes not staying in a protective bubble concerns me. Taking a flier on a guy in exchange for a 7th round pick should not concern any of us.
Unless you'd like your pick of these success stories?

Perhaps you don't understand anything. I openly said at the ****ing onset, if any of you could actually read more than two words in a row, that the compensation for him was NOT the problem.
I'm concerned we're going to see this kid become a paraplegic on the field. Maybe you haven't been as intimately involved with that tragedy in life as I have so you really don't give a ****. I'd personally rather not watch it happen and there is a higher than average chance it does.
As for your list, we all know 6th and 7th round picks have a low hit rate. At least Succop was and remains a good kicker. Page was good before he tore his shoulder up. So at least there's something there. Allegretti was pretty serviceable all season at guard despite not playing well, along with the rest of the Oline, in the Super Bowl.
