And if you think the next great QB is available at that spot, you can't say no.
The only thing we can say for sure is we don't need tackles.

Sometimes I feel (this is more of a feeling than an analyzed reasoning) like we over evaluate NFL pros' skills to predict what a college player will become in the NFL.
I mean, I understand the reasoning behind BPA drafting, but there's always a 50/50 chance the most promising guy will turn out to be a complete bust...
And then you end up not having filled up gaping holes in your team to draft an unneeded bad (or even average) player at a position you already have depth...
I say we have too many holes to fill on D to hope that'll be fix through FA only, filling those holes should be a priority in the offseason, including the draft.
And if you make another team's day by not drafting a really good WR, well good for them but we saw how far a GREAT offense could get us with a bad defense... Not very far.
