They drafted 4 DL/Edge players in the first in that span. Is the broccoli OL only and everything else is cookies? You're literally breaking down a fraction of our 1st round picks in that span to try to make your argument. Even then, most people see QB's as a necessity to winning football and don't refer to them as shiny toys or cookies or whatever.
Sewell and Chase are both offensive players. We're talking about our offense here.
There are 11 positions on offense. 5 linemen, and 6 other positions that are generally viewed as more exciting to fans. For the 5 linemen positions, we spent 1 draft pick. For the 6 positions that fans find more exciting, we spent 10 picks.
We had a solid QB in Jeff Blake and still took Akili Smith, passing on a plethora of picks to do so. Was that not valuing the shiny toy over doing the right thing?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
