You are way more articulate than I, but this is the drum I’ve been beating(only use the portal to supplement and improve talent and don’t use it as an excuse for your recruiting failures) the whole time.
And that will change by year. If one cycle there are 4 Addison available to you and only one Ricks all the while a bunch of teams are in the market for a CB over a WR, chances are that Ricks will fetch way more.
