I laugh at my Cowboys co-worker for having a good few top-salary guys and only enough money left for scrubs. So wouldn't Garrett be the same thing? A great DL with a suspect CB, LT, OL depth and WR group?
Considering the Packers were something like 4.5 points per game better with Watson in the lineup, wouldn't we be so much better with a reliable WR? And can't you put some stock in getting more adjusted to the 4-3, VanNess not being a bust and a new DL coach getting things back to normal? It's not like we're a missing-piece D-line, just an under-performing one.
Plus Garrett is one year away from getting PAID, and it's hard to say we're just one D-lineman away from a SB.
Granted, Malik Willis to the Browns makes a lot of sense. They can't pay Sam Darnold the $42M he'll get and Shedur Sanders is a huge reach at #2 overall. Getting what we can for him would probably cover a lot of our ills.
I'd rather have their #2 overall to draft that Penn State DL than Myles Garrett. Obviously Garrett is the best in the business but you better have $30M for him next year.
