I'm pretty sure they are targeting Goff, California poster child for the new LA market. Makes WAY too much sense.
And I'm not entirely sure they overpaid THAT much, they just moved up FOURTEEN SPOTS in the draft, you need to put together a pretty substantial package to do that.
The Redskins moved up from 6 to 2 for three first round picks and a second.
In 2004, the Giants essentially moved from 4 to 1 for two first round picks, a third and a fifth.
So in comparison, the deal looks pretty standard to me. They paid less to achieve more than the Redskins did.
