Not really. We signed AP before the draft and got surprised Kamara was available and made the move up. Ironically the Vikings did the same thing - signed Latavious Murray then moved up for Dalvin Cook. Unfortunately for the Vikings Cook is hurt so now they really need Murray. Funny how things go.

That's true. Well then I guess we can just look at it as "buying" an extra draft pick.

and since we gave up a 7th (plus the 2nd he was valued at) for Kamara, and are likely to get a 7th for AP, it means we got AK this year for a second next year. Good deal
