We are all like 9 year old orphans hoping our new parents show up. Nobody is adopting us so why generate false hope.

Not a bit. Even if you were, I can take it.

It's just that premier players at a select few premier positions don't hit the open market. QB, LT, pass rusher, WR. Teams don't let impact talent get away at those spots. The only way you come across them is drafting them.

So when we landed Galette I saw it as such a bonus, a potential MAJOR impact player at a position that doesn't grow on trees. It's the same with DeSean Jackson.

I wasn't looking at Galette to be the difference between 4-12 and 9-7, but he was a very important building block for the future. He represented a player we wouldn't have to address with a first rounder sometime in the next two seasons. Maybe he still can be, but I don't know how you sign him to a significant deal next offseason when there will be so many question marks about his first step coming back from this.
