Who were their best players that they "let go"?

Gilmore, Gillislee, Woods, Watkins, Darby, So far. We traded for Matthews and Gains because they are on expiring contracts and will be gone in 2018. Tyrod will be gone in 2018.

Teams to root against for 2017:

Patriots

Chiefs

Rams

Eagles

Bears

49ers if they get cousins

Root for Kizer but not so much in that he wins a lot of games for Cleveland, just that he looks the part and they are happy

With two first-round picks, two second-round picks, two third-round picks, and a fourth, fifth and seventh. We have nine draft picks, six of them in the first three rounds.

That's a nice supply of currency. so who do we draft, and who can we strike a nice deal with?

+the comp picks that we should get and the conditional from The Chargers.

We have a lot of draft picks. Remains to be seen if we'll use them correctly.

 

Hopefully they hit it out of the park, but assuming that just because we've got a lot of picks means things will get better isn't a very good bet.

 

Bingo!

While true that the picks are no guarantee of success, the fact that the plan can fail does not make the plan bad.

What was Darby last season? They didn't "let go" of either of them. They actually got something for a player who was going to walk at the end of the season.

Way to excuse the franchise in their financial mishandling of Watkins. Assuming he was going to leave after the 2017 season is an excuse, nothing more.

Exactly. The plan was bad for plenty of reasons on its own.

I don't understand your logic saying that they traded for guys on expiring contracts. How does that help anything? Losing two guys that you didn't have before doesn't create cap space magically. If they wanted to create cap space they would have just taken the draft choices and not required Mathews or Gaines be part of the deal.
