Different draft strategy : Cap edition

I’ve seen a lot of “fill the hole” style mock drafts already.

I think we need to look at things differently. If we are going to get further in the playoffs then it will have to be due to coaching. KC, BAL, NE (with Brady), all due it because of Franchise QB and Coaching.

They have to do it with holes on the team and we will also.

Here is what is about to be due :

• $30M for Sting

• $30M for WAj

• $60M for Stroud

That’s not counting Pitre, Tank, C Harris and others.

I think this year we need to start drafting young guys who can step in for high salaries or else we are going to be hosed.

• Edge 2 : we can’t pay Hunter after 2025 due to above contracts.

• LT/RT : we have like $48M in cap for tackles. We need Fisher to step up, and draft another. Will jt be worse than Tunsil…probably. But we need the OC to plan quick rhythm passing attack and a solid Run game.

• WR2 : one more year of Diggs would be fun. We have Nico long term. We need another WR that is a difference maker. IMO someone who is a serious threat in the slot.

I’m not saying I don’t want a DT, FS and backup RB. I’m just saying we need to start looking at replacing high dollar Vets with cheap youth to offset the Cap hits we will be taking.
