A team needs great players on cheap contracts. When you trade those picks away and hand out big money deals to those players, it kicks you in the nuts multiple times. That can be ok if the player is a Pro Bowl-level guy (at MINIMUM) at his position, but even then, you can't do that shit all the time. You'll run out of cap dollars pretty quickly.

Yes, I know Veach is probably done doing those kinds of deals for awhile, but damn, this one is kind of painful. If we had drafted a good player with that 1st rounder in 2019, we'd have cap space AND that guy kicking ass for us. If we drafted a bust with that pick, we'd at least still have the cap space.

And at least OBJ is going to give us a year of cheap play. Clark didn't even get us that.

So CEH isn't all bad?
