Which exceptional players were available and how did you determine they were exceptional?

Nope.
Signing a rb to a one year deal does nothing to inhibit us drafting Bijan Robinson.
If anything, Foreman was part of the 1-2 combo with CMC back in Carolina, last I checked. So, Poles is doing it right. He’s making sure he doesn’t have to draft a NT, a C, a TE, or a RB.
Now, why anyone wouldn’t want the most explosive, dynamic offensive player in the draft that is also a sure fire hit is beyond me. Oh, positional value and maths and some shit.

The only one I can think of is Hargrave and I wanted him, but I assume when I super bowl contender offered him 21 mill/yr, that was a wrap

Tulane RB Spears is that guy. Ton of prospects but this guy has moves and some very good speed. One of my favorites.

Or they go pash rusher or OT which they absolutely need and is within reach at 9.

This is a possibility. Nothing like taking the third or fourth best at a position or reaching on a player that isn’t a legit first round talent so that you can win the draft with positional value points instead of games with an offense that can score real points. I mean, right? Nothing wins games like winning positional value and maths.
Oh, right. Offense wins games. We aren’t close to a championship. Poles is building a solid team. Yeah, they could go with lesser talent or the best player in the draft. Seems an easy call to me.

I’d be surprised if Poles is gunning for Bijan

No one thinks Robinson is the best player in the draft though. The best OT or 2nd best pash rusher might be there though if 4 QBs go ahead of us.

Everything he has shown and done in FA is a tip that he is possibly locking onto Bijan.
Everyone, including me, expected him to dump truckloads of cash into the DL. Dude got two linebackers, echoing what Ebeflus did with a draft where he took two very early. Yeah, he dumped cash in off ball linebackers. He has been judicious with the OL & DL.
I think he is setting up a room where he can be okay with the RBs he has, but, more importantly, doesn’t want to pull a Dallas and let other teams know who he wants so he can get jumped. Bijan is a clear target for how our smooth operator operates correctly.

Nice to know Craig is like many on CCS. Doesn't watch but is great at reading box scores.

Not sure what Washington is doing. Both Chase Young and Montez Sweat are free agents at the end of the year and they're paying Payne and Allen $21M a piece. I don't think there is any way they can pay both edge rushers. The 5th year option on Young is $18M and Rivera has said he doesn't think they will pick it up. I know Young has been injured the past two seasons but I would put in a call to see if he's available. Still only 23 with a ton of talent

To me, the Foreman signing indicates he will go into trenches at #9. Bijan is my guy, but I'm thnking he wants to build young up front. Maybe grab Johnson or the NW kid....then look for another back in later rounds.
