Drafting for need with a top 5 pick is dumb.

 

We have an entire draft to fix the defense. If Tmac is the best player on the board you take him.

Wide receivers, even the great ones (and they are rare) can get real expensive, real quick and are involved in say 40-70% of a team's plays, based on that team's particular style of offense.

An edge rusher, DT or LB can very often be involved in 100% of the plays on defense. 

It's a much better, more cost effective pick to grab one of those defenders (who are easier to evaluate and plug into a system) than to spin out yet another pick on a wide receiver. We're fair to middling, maybe even good with receivers right now.

And ignoring a need in a draft might just be the dumbest way to work a draft. Really, just think about what you said.

The center plays 100% of snaps on offense, but nobody's drafting one of those in the top 5.  BPA is the way to go in the top of the draft because the field of prospects is not tailored to your teams needs.  You draft based on the field of prospects.  There are generally 10-15 prospects that are well beyond anyone else in a given class.  You should always take the best player with that selection unless it's incredibly stupid like QB after you already have one.

You're out of your mind if you think we are good with receivers right now.  XL has shown some things but he is not a sure thing.  AT is on his last legs.  Coker is just a depth guy at this point.  That's all we have.  We do not have a good #1 option on this team so you can't say we are good at receiver.

you cant ignore it but you also cant let it be the driving force with a high pick... if you do you over draft.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
