It makes zero sense. You kill the cap and lose three 1st round picks, preventing you from adding elite talent on either side of the ball. This roster is bad…really bad. I’ve seen enough Lions teams that had a good QB plus a handful of good players with zero depth to know this is madness.
We have an opportunity to get a game changing defensive player at 2, and then best player available at 32. Perhaps one of the best WRs in the draft for instance. That’s how you build a team. Watson should go to a team that’s already built to win now. Steelers, Colts, Niners, Bucs etc. VS coming here and winning 7-8 games at best.
