This can be used to justify anything

Maybe. Similar situation to us. Young potential but very little proven production.

Rice, Worthy, Royals is a good young core.

3 teams there are perennial playoff teams. There's worse blueprints to follow

I'd argue it doesn't matter how big your QB is. Put a ton of money in front of him. We made that mistake once already.

I don't have an issue whatsoever with investment in the trenches as long as it is done intelligently. We just need to make sure we're developing depth along the line too. And Center is next up on the *need to address* pecking order after this season.

Their receiving corps has not performed well because they have drafted poorly. Or the guys they drafted haven't really gotten the hang of it yet. But over the last three drafts, they have spent a first and two seconds on their receivers, with not much to show for it. Worthy did play well at times last year, and was probably their best offensive player in the Superbowl, so they might improve in that regard.

Exactly. Can’t have pressure up the middle when our QB is 5’10”

We are taking the Moton hit this year instead of kicking the can down the road which is a third of it. I’m curious to see what we do with Icky who had a solid year last year.

Money well spent

Not one complaint spending on the oline. Nor do I begrudge rolling with Motons cap hit this year. It’s a necessary move to free us up going forward.

And 3 of those are playoff contenders, and maybe 4....?

U are right byoung did play better but before he was horrific so any improvement was huge. Still crazy lookongat the rookie qbs last year and everyone of the had single games arguably better than young has ever had.

And it's why they have no receiving corps. Paying QBs big money makes you make hard choices. Paying an absolutely TRASH tier RT big money further limits your options. LOL

Not ugly beautiful.

KC does it with Mahomes

Or you can be the Bengals and not do that.

When your QB weighs 200 lbs when soaking wet, then yea, you better put a ton of money in front of him

Zero problem with paying big money to the OL. Other than QB, there isn't a more important position group on the field.

it's beautiful. What Dan and Dave have done is to quickly fix our OL so our young QB gets a chance to grow. That was our big need. Now we've fixed the DL with some good vets. In the new few drafts, we'll get young replacements when the free agents contracts are up. Games are won at the line. When I think about Rhule and his seven year plan...well let's just say he's gone and that's good. Look at the Saints when they got their franchise QB with Brees. At one point I think their OL was all first rd picks with one one second rd. Brees was a small guy as well. But he was talented. Protect the QB. Last year we spent the money and by the end of the year, our QB showed that we may actually have found our franchise QB. We're building the right way. I loved our draft. I really like our spending on the lines in FA. Hang in there guys. We are closer than you think.

We’re paying the price for restructuring Moton this year. It would be extremely timely if we hit on a young tackle next offseason.

I will never be against spending on the offensive or defensive line, that is where the game is won.

You can spend big on the OL when you have a QB and the majority of your receiving corps on a rookie contracts.

The Rams gave us that opportunity.
