I also think you need to be more careful when you read (or maybe I need to be more careful when I write). The team could have just plugged in Evans, but they felt that was a worst case scenario (so they went out and got Taylor). I'm only questioning their logic that Evans would have been a worst case scenario.

It's going to cost us games in the future because we're old. The idea is that if we use the 2nd round pick wisely, we could improve the team in the long run, which we can't do now. 2-3 wins in a 3 year span isn't a big deal, I don't think, but it's still sort of mortgaging the future.

Also, good work assuming that every 2nd and 6th round pick will net talent the equivalent of Taylor Jacobs and Nemo. That's pretty pessimistic of you.

I agree with you on the draft pick, it is costly. But I think it was the lesson of last year, when we assumed we could just plug Todd Wade in at guard and Buges would "coach 'em up." We are in essence spending tomorrow's 2nd and 6th round picks for a DE because we did not spend them at any time in the past. Maybe now we'll start focusing on the trenches on draft day, make some unsexy picks, like guard or tackle, instead of the splashy wide outs and 2nd tight ends.
