Is it just WR you don't wanna pay for?

I'd prefer to not have to pay for ANY top of the market free agent deals at any position. Every time you have to do that, it creates an issue with your overall roster.
If you're going to do second deals on players, it's best to do it on your own guys that you KNOW fit your team's needs and culture.
Big money free agent deals are still a roll of the dice, and often don't move the needle as much as people think. How many Super Bowls has Davante Adams won with the Raiders? Hill with the Dolphins? Diggs with the Bills?
No, I'd much rather invest draft capital in growing our own. If they're good, pay them that second contract, knowing it's a good investment, not hoping.
Thuney's great, but is now overpaid. Taylor is so far, an overpay, but the position was necessary because we'd struck out on drafting one.
I view big money free agents as a necessity when you've been unsuccessful in drafting and developing your own at that position.
