If they whiff bad in this draft, they won’t make it next year
Again, Philly has been paying everyone for years now. The reason they won this year was the recent drafts. Just as was the case for KC in the years prior.
Fun to banter and debate contract signings, ultimately isn’t going to be the big needle mover.

I somewhat disagree...
For the most part, draft picks generally don't pay enormous dividends in the first year. You might get something really good from round 1 and some day 2 contributors but not huge needle movers. What we got from 2022 is strangely abnormal.
This team is likely to be a product of what happens in FA in 2025. The draft will pay bigger dividends or have a more profound negative effect down the road.
The only advantage to trying to sign your own is the lack of competition from the open market and you get more time. I still think you need to be selective in who you try to bring back and at what price.
