You can't just dismiss production when we're talking about a 3-4X multiplier in salary.
I'll do the math, but at a glance - Hollywood hasn't outproduced Mecole by *that* much, especially considering how many more targets he's received than Mecole.
If we had a metric ****ton of cap space, or didn't need to kick another eleventy billion of Mahomes money down the road just to sign guys, I really would be indifferent.
But money does matter, and if I can get 80% of the production and role for 25 cents on the dollar, I'm going that route.

Easier said now that Hardman's fumble didn't cut our throats against Buffalo.
And when PM was able to just use his legs to save the day against SF.
But...what if Greenlaw wasn't out because he blew an achilles running out onto the field? And so we don't have Kelce abusing some practice squad caliber guy?
And now you're facing some key 3rd and gotta have it in the 4th quarter? Wouldn't you much prefer having Brown running that arrow route trying to locate the ball than Hardman?
It's the same argument made with retaining Chris Jones rather than signing Tair Tartt. Now I'm on the other side of that one but not because I don't think paying for a superstar is a better plan - it's because I don't think Jones will remain at a superstar level. If I thought Jones had 2/3 years at his 2022 level left in him, I'd pay 3 times as much for 50% more player every single time.
Because ultimately we're not looking to make the playoffs. We're looking to win 'em. And THAT'S where those major investments start to become more likely to pay off.
