Hard to say it’s a win-now approach when we draft a developmental pass rusher from a Conference USA school.

I think everyone is 50 50 on his development. I think by week 1 he'll have all the development he needs and the first few games maybe a learning experience but remember we'll have 2 or 3 edge rushers going after the QB on every play.

Exactly. He’s played against nobody’s and he’s from a nobody school. Reports on him say he is raw and will need to develop. I don’t love what we have up for him. At that price you want as close to a day one difference maker as you can get. Not just someone to use on third downs for a year until he gets it.
Especially givin Brees age and the fact we are in win now mode.
Next year might be to late.
Hope I am wrong. The FO did a great job last year but for several years prior they didn’t do that great.

To say they should have offered less is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Of course they offered less. Im also sure GB wanted more. It’s called NEGOTIATION. You don’t just take the first offer without countering
