Is it the player or the trading up that bothers you guys ?

Both. That's a lot of pressure to attach to one player. Then, by trading up, you've not allowed to go back into a fertile, talented draft because you've limited your choices...

Now you have a talented player, but you're weak somewhere else, opponents will just attack the weaker position...

And even worse, what if the player heavily invested doesn't pan out, now you've only addressed one position and even it's not having an impact...

Not having talent spread across the field has cost us; having plenty of choices is what has sprung us forward - see recent history of 2017 draft where we had more choices...
