Call me bitter but paying up that much for a bunch of freshmen that:
1. Can leave after 1 year through transfer rules
2. Can immediately let it be known they're not worth the money in practice if they're on a multi-year deal
3. Expose you to the "Expensive unproven freshman vs actually producing veteran who feels disrespected" synopsis
Seems like an interesting experiment today

Good don’t think it’s a good idea to pay a HS DB 7 figures. We’ve had plenty of good non 5 star DB’s.
