My point is... we just won the SB, we have the #1 roster in the league, why move key pieces of that team at all? Shouldn't we fans be pounding the table harder to keep our current roster in tact? Paris is a top rated LT in this draft, and here we are questioning if he's a sure thing. We already know C Jones and/or OBJ are league leading quality. You'd for certain have to give me more than a 1-to-1 trade for a cheaper league hopeful in order for me to want to move on from one of them. The Tyreek trade at least gave us multiple shots at replacing him.
We already have 11-12 picks in this draft, that's enough ammo for Veach to Veach without moving top line talent from our current championship roster.

It's not about the owner at all. It's about the cap. The idea is that we've shown that Mahomes plus best 52=Super Bowl. What's the best way to get and maintain the best 52 under the cap? And without pushing cost forward, where you can end up screwing yourself in the future? I don't know about you, but I'm kind of digging this contending every single year thing.
