Bosa, Elliot, and Ramsey are all by far better than the next DE, RB, and CB drafted.
Excluding QBs, there are 3 can't miss blue chip players in the next draft:
Young - OLB/DE
Jeudy - WR
Okudah - CB
These 3 guys will probably be better than anyone else drafted behind them.
This is an opportunity to get an elite can't miss player, they need to take advantage of it.
Also, being in position to draft one of these players gives us significantly more trade value. We might get lucky and have a team mortgage the future for one of these guys. No one does that for 2nd round picks.
Chase Young might be worth 2 #1 picks. We need to be in position to draft him even if we fuck it up and don't draft him.

True on your post. No disagreement. My point was it ain't make or break if we don't pick in the top 3, the Browns being my example. There are so many great players in this league that were drafted outside of the 1st round entirely. Thomas was one example.
The position that we may need the most is TE. Look at the best guys playing that position, Ertz, Kelce, Kittle, none drafted in the first round.
Look at the Seahawks? They haven't picked in the top 5 of the draft in years. They've turned their entire SB caliber roster over and are still a SB contender.
