If you are ok with paying JJ now, why would you not be ok with paying Marvin later if he becomes very good ?

                                                          -or-

You could Trade Marvin later (get whatever years out of him on the Cheap by comparison) and also get a pick or picks back

                                                           -or-

Pay Marvin later while Trading the then older Chase to get a pick or picks back

None of those "ors" include a scenario where Harrison Jr is a bust. This is the draft we're talking about. 

Or a scenario where he's just okay, but now we've spent Tee and 2 firsts on him that we'll never be able to recoup anywhere near the value of, he's meh for 4 years and doesn't really move the needle towards a Super Bowl, and then we let him walk (or find ourselves in another Tee situation).

We should get a 2nd for Tee. If I am spending two 1sts and a 2nd on a player, I want them guaranteed to be great. There's no way to guarantee that for anyone in the draft.
