The bust rate for rd’s 4-7 is roughly 90% compared to 50% for a first rd pick. Why not just “coach up” 1st and 2nd rd picks and save money to use for FA?

So you’re okay taking on higher risk and not having any money bc you are already shelling out most of your cap to Ramsey, Donald and Goff?

Look at the Seahawks after their Super Bowl win. Their draft picks carried them and then they started trading 1st rd picks 3 years in a row and they regressed by a fair amount.

Now they are trying to load up on draft picks. I wonder why that is?
Is it easier to coach up mid to late rounders into average starters than it is develop a first rounder into a legit star?

They have stars, they need to fill around them with just NFL players.
