I did.
Fant's targets and catches have dropped from 90/68 in his last season with the Broncos to to 63/50 and 43/32 with the Seahawks. Not saying that he is on a decline but that stat line does not scream out someone that was not worth giving up in a trade for a franchise QB. The Broncos could have resigned Harris last offseason and they could resign him this offseason as well.
I defer to you as you watch them every week and follow them more closely than I do. I just don't get the impression that Bronco fans or anyone else is saying that including Fant and Harris not to mention Drew Lock in the trade make that a bad trade. The deal including the picks was a risky move that did not pan out if you just have Russ in the second year of the extension he signed with Seattle in 2019. He would have also been a UFA right now. We would have seen it as the team taking a shot to get a franchise QB and they missed.
