All of this is a catch-22.
Signing any of those 3 vets hinders Suamataia and Morris' development because they will sign for multiple years and start in front of both. The ideal veteran comes here on a 1-year deal. Maybe that could be Humphries.
If you go with a 1st rounder, now you're just adding to the developmental group. That 1st rounder might be more ready to play but like I asked before, will there be a huge difference between that player and Suamataia in year two? That's a tough question to answer. Now, if your first rounder starts, Suamataia becomes your RT, and Morris is your Swing, then I'm not all that opposed but it's still a lot of youth developing.
It's a tough call but I don't know if I support the long-term signing of a veteran.
