Poles has failed in his goal to surround Fields with talent.
Even if he signs the best remaining offensive free agents (which is obviously unrealistic), they would still be lacking true difference makers.
Even if they draft the best available WR and/or OLineman with their 2nd rd picks, those guys are still going to be rookies and will have a lot to learn before they can become game changing players.
I’m OK tanking this season. But how the hell can we know what we have in Fields if the guys he has around him are all avg at best?
My guess is, those who were saying “I’ll wait till after the draft before I make any judgments on poles” are starting to worry. If you’re not, you’re fooling yourself.
BTW, we’re well into the “second wave of free agency” when Poles was supposed to sign his guys…
