The thing about taking a 1T is we need one now. We get distracted by raw talents (I'm 100% guilty of it myself) who can be developed... which is kind of moot for why we're talking about them at all. We need them to contribute asap, if not at the start of the year then certainly by the end. It's not your typical draft and stash scenario and puts us in a dangerous spot. So if we don't land Sweat or Jackson we might as well treat it like any other year because the others will not serve our acute need. For that matter, even Sweat and Jackson will be rookies with a long learning curve ahead of them. The more I think about it the more I realize trying to fill this NT hole via the draft is like an oasis in the desert- it's a mirage. I should hope we have other options!
