I've always been about building your roster the slow draft way. If you trust your talent evaluators and they have a good working relationship with the coaching staff you can fill any position on the team, and it doesn't have to be with a first rounder either. You could build an entire team out of 3-7 late round draft picks who have become elite despite the odds.
It's why I'm not a big fan of Ron's "get wins quick" play. We have a solid foundation but we're not 1 solid qb away from contention.

That could happen to anyone at any time. Chase Young could break his leg and never play again just walking down the stairs. At the end of the day to me, if we get Watson our SB window opens up. Thats the point. One SB win would make up for the last 30 years. As those have said our division is bad, there is an opportunity for us to grab a hold of it by acquiring Watso:
Eagles: coaching issues and QB controversy
Giants: Saquan coming off ACL surgery, Daniel Jones cant beat anyone but us, no real recieving weapons
Cowboys: Dak coming off injury, having to potentially pay Dak 40 million a year, and their defense and coaching is trash
The opportunity is there. Everyone agrees that with Stafford at the helm this year we would have won 10 games, no way you can convince me that Watson wouldnt have gotten us to potentially 12 wins
