I always love when the city/town I live in comes around and paves the roadways, only to come back the next month to dig them up and put in a gas line or something.
For how much extra cap space we supposedly had this season, this team doesn't feel markedly improved from last season which is a bit of a disappointment in my eyes. Yeah, we have the draft yet, but so do 31 other teams.
Our goal should be 1 seed, not just make the playoffs. Accepting just a playoff appearance is a setback. Last year was supposed to be our reset year with all the departures and carrying Diggs dead cap money. Now once again we're carrying dead weight.
On one hand I like going into the draft without any glaring holes and being able to mostly take best player available but on the other hand it kind of feels like year after year we waste a lot of cap money on JAGs and end up with too much redundancy at positions. For example, if Beane happens to draft a receiver with one of his first 2 picks. What does that mean for Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel or Keon? If they take a DT rd 1 then suddenly 8 million for Ogunjobi as a depth piece feels like an overpay.
I think Keon comes across as almost over confident. As though he thinks he can dominate out there without much extra work or effort. Hopefully the back half of last season has taught him that there is indeed a learning curve for the NFL, no matter how good you think you are.
