It's the hardest piece to find, so if you get the #1 pick, you better make sure you get your guy. There's too much variability from year to year. Do you really want to hitch your wagon to Finley?
There will be several other generational pass rushers in the next few years. We've seen how many generational guys in the last 5 years?
There are franchise guys every year, the issue is they end up in bad situations and bust out. Lamar Jackson anywhere besides with Greg Roman isn't the guy we are watching right now. Josh Rosen has gone to two bad situations and his career is now shot. If Josh Allen played for Bruce Arians he'd be having a much better career. It's the Tom Brady argument, would Tom Brady be Tom Brady if he didn't go to NE? It's easy for people to say yes but he was a 6th rounder for a reason and it's not as easy as saying people messed up. In the early years they protected him from himself until he was ready to be the man.Very few guys can thrive in bad situations and as good as one of these guys may be, they will be playing in potentially one of the worst situations in NFL history (Team coming off 0-16).
Last 5 years? None. Myles Garrett, Jadaveon Clowney and Bradley Chubb had All pro grades coming out. Nick Bosa and Joey Bosa had Potential Pro Bowl grades coming out. None of them had "Generational" grades on them (maybe media hyperbole), what I am hearing from the two guys I talk to in the scouting game is Young will have a generational grade. If people really believe in BPA then Young will be the highest rated player in the draft, people will overvalue QB's based on need like usual which will cause people to simply overlook flaws.
