In July 2018, you had these players rostered at those positions:

WR:
Hilton
Grant
Rogers
Cain
Fountain

Safety:
Hooker
Geathers
Farley

At WR, I'll acknowledge an argument that Inman might be a slight upgrade to Grant/Rogers, but I don't think that was obvious at the time. I would have been against adding Inman at the time because he would take reps away from the rookies, particularly Cain. At that point, you would be adding Inman primarily in a ST role, which he doesn't fit.

At safety, it's a similar situation. Your argument amounts to advocating that they should have cut Farley and replaced him with Mitchell.
Grant and Rogers aren’t better than Inman. And Mitchell might be the best safety on our roster.

People are paid well to know this. The point is, there were better players on the street that we could have added to make this team better. And they weren’t that pricey.
