Settle wanted starter playing time, he knew he was 3rd guy here in Washington.

Unless we just drafted Paynes replacement. Than we basically got rid of Settle to draft Settle. Could have had Settle and say Brisker.

Assuming Settle wanted to stay. But he has the opportunity to be a starter in Buffalo, I'm sure he wanted to go there. I don't understand why is so hard for people to understand that you can't keep everyone.

You also can't keep everyone on the D-line, Payne could be the odd man out. So you draft both for depth and for replacement.

I wanted Dean, but it is not like they drafted a fucking kicker in the 2nd round.

Who wants to keep everyone? What we are saying is if this is Paynes replacement just keep Settle. Settle would have been the starter here and we could have drafted elsewhere.

You are saying Settle wanted to leave to start elsewhere and also Payne could be out so draft his replacement. We had his replacement.

Settle wanted to leave this year, to be a starter, Payne could be gone at the end of this upcoming season. You draft Mathis to fill he depth this year and potential starter in 2023, all at a rookie contract.

Again, I wanted to Nakobe Dean, I'm not saying this is the best pick, but I don't think it is the worst. I mean this is not Belichick picking a 3rd round guard at the bottom of the 1st round bad.

We needed an impact player there. We need starters this year. That was a luxury pick for a team that can't afford it.

Now if Payne gets traded and we get an extra pick, I'd probably like it more because he would be a starter at that point. But as of now he's a backup rotational piece. That's not good enough at 47 for a 7 win team.

Oh I don’t think it is a bad pick at all. I love solid depth especially in the trenches. Its where we picked though.
It is the thought that we could have dealt Payne for picks, made Settle a starter, and used the 2nd round pick elsewhere. We would be better off. It is like someone said, they seem to be making it up as they go along.

If Washington traded Payne (which they should have) Settle would have replaced him.

They should have, and I do agree with you there.
