Let's Double Dip

I am game for anything because of Gettlemen's philosophy. If Cyrus Richardson, Tiny Richardson, Joel (Nevada guy), etc are gone I don't want to take James Hurst because he is an offensive lineman. If Martivus Bryant, Jordan Matthews, or Davante Adams, or a top CB/S. why would we settle. My take on O-lineman are that there are only like 1-3 each draft that are franchise tackles that will play for their respective teams for 8+ years. Other than that lineman are cheap. If we did not spend a  first round pick on one then getting a lineman in the 3rd or 4th round would not be so bad.  This current panthers team will never pay a LT tackle a 60+ million dollar contract unless they drafted him and he produced for them. So that means we got a good lineman and we were paying him cheap for 4 years, then we payed him. Saves a lot of cap.

Hmm...Brandon Coleman on the other side would be insane. KB 6'5, BC 6'6 out wide to either side, could high point the ball anywhere on the field.

do y'all expect us to throw fade routes every play? I would much rather have a quick, more polished wr if we decide to double dip in round 2

Maybe someone we can get that gets separation (and 40 times don't tell you whether they can or cannot) but let me be honest for those of you thinking it needs to be the prototypical Steve Smith sized receiver, get your head out of your ass. Getting a 6'5'' monster doesn't mean we now require someone no taller than 5'10", especially with the way these Seahawks DBs maul WRs. There are still options for WRs that soundly eclipse 6'. If we want to double dip, let's not waste our time trying to find the next Steve Smith which we already wasted time and picks trying to do in previous years.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.

      Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.
