Little bit of right with a little bit of wrong

[Poeticlaw]

I have has some time to ponder this offseason acquisitions and trades and I am going to break it down in two parts hates and revelations.

 

I wasnt keen on th idea of Marv at the helm and he has proving me right in soo many ways, the overpaying of salries to the 2nd 3rd tier players, too overpaying for the reaches in this years drafts. Im not going to state he got the wrong players after careful review of all the acquisitions I had a revelation but I will get to that in a minute. Whoever is doing the contract negotions with these players has really fumbled, I dont remeber where i saw it but we have paid out the most in signing bonuses this offseason for relatively second tier guys and no real star potential. THis is my biggest gripe because this is a salary cap sport that you have to compenste based on skill not on gut. The only reason I hate this draft is not becasue of the players we drafted but the price we are paying for it. Top 10 $$ for a guy we could have traded down to 11-13 still got him and another later round pick. Moving up into the first again and Paying First round money and losing a 3rd round pickfor a guy who would have most likely been there when we picked again at 2, IF not we could have traded up in the 2nd rd not the first The value here is shot not only in dollars but who would have been that 3rd pick we lost. However, the biggest grip I have had on this "value system" is only a 5th round pick for Moulds, Really now he should have been a 3rd this year or a contional 2-4 next year based on performance this has definately been a Scott Norwood superbowl replay of the offseason for value for me.

 

AHH but my revelation is this.. as pestimistic as i have been this offseason about all the things that have occurred, I have found a glimmer of hope that Marv does know something it might not be the $$value of the player but looking at all the players we have acquired FA and Draft we have something now we havent had in a very long time. DEPTH. I have stated in the past the only reason the Pats have won 3 superbowls is DEPTH because their players are not that good for the most part of the roster but they all play. The type of players we have will play and we have good depth. Now it just comes down to the coaching on Sundays but if these guys can coach them right and the players play their best It could be a surprise season especially since we will be clearly under all the radars.

 

Just had to put that out there.
