The mistake was not doing it early so he'd be in camp and in good spirits, ready to play and game fit. If we hadn't re-signed him and he'd held out, we'd be quite a degree worse off right now.
The other mistake was not better addressing WR in FA (even the draft?). Brown was a risk hanging #3 WR on, McCaffrey is looking solid as a #2/3, but was still something of an unknown, and Lane is probably going to work out well eventually, but may never be better than #3. We needed a player to push and complement Deebo and Scary.
OTOH with so many holes still to fill it's hard to say we could have done much better than we did, with what we had. Deebo wasn't a mistake, but Lattimore looks like he was. Those draft picks would have been useful in the spring in filling some gaps, probably WR and secondary. I suspect AP is regretting his own decision there.
