10+ years from one offseason. I think people should temper their expectations. short of a QB, players that they draft in this draft won’t even be playing for the team in 10 years.
This is a good point. Take THE HAUL through its best-case scenario natural conclusion:
It’s probably not a net positive for this year, because most of the assets you’re getting will be for future drafts, and you’re giving away this year’s 1/1.
Let’s say you use this year’s first & second round pick from THE HAUL to get a GREAT receiver & a good o-lineman.
Ok, there’s your replacements for Darnell Mooney & Braxton Jones.
Let’s say you use next year’s first rounder & second rounder to grab a GREAT corner & a good D-Lineman .
Ok, there’s your replacement for JJ and someone on the d-line to help bring pressure.
A few years down the line, you start having the makings of a good team.
But what do you truly have? When does THE HAUL start looking amazing? When does it start being generational?
By the way, this is the BEST case scenario. In all likelihood, probably not every pick would hit.
THE HAUL, when it’s all said and done, will probably net you some really solid guys, maybe even a great guy or two. But when taken to its natural conclusion, people are way overestimating the ultimate impact of THE HAUL.
