The Evans singing was hypothetically a very good move. You have a proven stopgap until the young guys sort themselves out. Amichia, Patrick, Murphy, or one of the UDFA's could all be the starting RG by end of season. For now, they have someone who shouldn't get Rodgers killed in week 1. The money made a lot of sense too. Lang was a very good player, but Detroit overpaid him on a contract he might not play to the end given his age, injury history.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to overpay aging veterans, and it's not a good idea to put a huge chunk of your salary cap into the OL. Bahktiari was a much better signing...younger, getting better, and a premium position. Lane Taylor isn't Josh Sitton, but he played well enough to save GB a lot of dough and nobody really noticed much dropoff. They're banking on that happening again, and Evans is the backup plan.

Plus, the draft allegedly wasn't great for O-linemen.
