I don’t know that argument isn’t really RB specific imo. Everything you said above while true, is applicable to every single position besides QB. You could replace WR, LT, DE or whatever and what you said holds true.
No we have enough invested in the OL and need to pay Icky. Cade has played well enough where it’s worth a little less play to have a rookie contract and not someone who is 31. Spend all our money on defense
Of course not, but it is a major piece. Especially with how Bryce was slinging it towards the end. We would still have all of FA (we can make a TON of cap space this year) and a loaded 2-7 round picks.
I do think 8 should be off the table, but on the flip side I can see the appeal of KNOWING you have WR1 locked up for the foreseeable future and being able to use the remaining draft fully on defense. With Burden or TMac you just don’t know for sure
I really think a second this year (Rams) and next years third could do it IF Rodgers comes back. If Rodgers leaves I think they make him untouchable.
just remember it’s the jets anything is possible
