In the past year and a half we spent a 3rd round pick on Duke Johnson, and then spent Hopkins to replace Johnson with David Johnson. Both are replacement level guys at a position where you can sign guys off the street whenever you feel like it. To prove that we grabbed Carlos Hyde in between those guys (almost for free) and he was better than either. To those draft pick and player investments you can add a tremendous amount of money spent on RBs. I know we made lots of bad deals, but the RB decisions are the most insane. Take those out and we're probably a .500 team fighting for a playoff spot and looking at losing a mid 1st instead of a top 5 pick. There were 100Xs that GM BOB should have been reigned in, but it's truly embarrassing we watched him value RBs on a different planet from the rest of the league and our ownership just nodded along.
