Good teams put people in place that do enough work to mitigate a bad pick. Everyone knows there's no such thing as a sure thing, that's why the good teams find the people that know what to look for. They don't just say, "well, no one knows if he's going to be good or bad so let's just cross our fingers".
You don't just elevate guys because of your need, to the top of the draft. You draft the most athletic, potential/production guys because athleticism--or for QBs, brains--are what wins you football games. You don't take guys projected as mid-rounders and just elevate them to the top of the draft because you have a need...unless you want to have a perennially bad team.
Whether or not people agree on top talent is irrelevant. Jeff Okudah was a consenus top of the draft player. The 2nd and 3rd tackles in this draft are not.
