Because if not, this team is showing a startling tendency towards paying market prices for the easiest positions on the field to fill in the draft.

Guard, box safety and 0 tech. Those are not high-skilled, high degree of difficulty positions. Those are positions you fill in the draft and surround with premier talent at higher priority positions to ensure they don't cripple you.

The positional value of where they've chosen to spend money this off-season is incredibly puzzling.

I thought quality zero techs in the 3-4 were super important and tough to find? I thought that's why Poe was so important when he was playing well?

All three positions in the 3-4 are important and critical. Especially with all the dime we play.

Makes sense. It was just odd to hear DJ down play the position.

Impact, 3-down zeros are exceptionally valuable and hard to find.

Big bodied run-stuffers that will play maybe 50% of our defensive snaps? Not so much.

We aren't looking at using Logan as a gap-splitting presence. He's going to be told to just stand there and occupy space. No, that's not tough to find.

It's like peak DJ vs. Joe Mays. DJ makes is position valuable because how well he's able to play it. But if you don't have an elite guy there, it doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of money on a limited player at a less critical position.

Seemed to make an indisputably huge impact in Philly...

I guess that all makes sense. I just remember talk about how Baltimore (and particularly Ray Lewis) was so successful in the 3-4 because they were able to find those elite 0 techs that bring the whole picture together.
