I can see both sides but as of right now I’d say Chase Young draft Trevor Lawrence next year. But I’ll change y mind tomorrow I’m sure.
It's tough isn't it because the league just naturally puts so much more premium on QB.
In reality the question is : good DE .vs. middle pack QB?
....yeah you might get a HoF from either pick if you are lucky but history shows its more about the above question.
2019 - K Murray (1) , N Bosa (2)
2018 - Mayfield (1) , Chubb (5)
2017 - M Garrett (1) , Trubiskey (6)
2016 - Goff (1) , J Bosa (3)
2015 - Winston (1) , D Fowler (3)
2014 - Clowney (1) , Bortles (3)
Not exactly clear cut is it...i guess if it was Goff .vs. Bosa you take Goff?
But i would argue that the first DE is pretty much guaranteed production (even the bust Fowler is producing now at Rams) but the wrong QB like Bortles or Trubiskey can really set you back
