OT. Not getting helping Darnold's front seven this draft is a commitment to him failing as a draft pick.
Getting the best player we can (especially if there is a significant talent gap there) is never a bad thing. Sam needs lots of talent all over the roster to help him win games.
Don’t get me wrong the priorities go like this
1. Protection
2. Playmakers
3. Defense
But if, for example, Bosa is still on the board when we pick, you are going to pass on him, an exceptionally elite prospect, for a strong OL or playmaker prospect?
That’s how bad teams stay bad, passing on top talent intentionally.
FA is for need, top 2 rounds are for the best players you can find.
If the prospects are close, you grab the guy that fits ours needs best. But you can’t pass on an elite pass rusher purely because he doesn’t play offense
