Foolish is what it is.
See, I asked to name names because I already knew the answer. Some folks actually peruse the FA lists, and run mock drafts and whatnot in the off-season in our spare time. So we kind of have an idea of who's available and what it would cost.
So, when something bad happens like losing a Super Bowl because our LT situation sucks ass, and everyone is hyperventilating about how Veach screwed up and how could he do that?!
We already know that the answer is...this shit is hard, and sometimes there aren't really great answers to these questions. There's a dozen or more reasons why nobody has ever threepeated.
We now know ONE for sure.
Picking #31 or #32 for like 6 years in a row SHOULD completely deplete your talent level and drive your team into the mediocrity. The system is designed to do that.
The fact that we've been able to sustain success in spite of all that is a testament to Veach, Reid, Spags, and Mahomes.
