For me it's more about we should've stayed put on the other picks. I like CTB but I don't think he was the only answer. But even trade up there is fine I just don't like trading up again for another safety. I would've preferred to draft multiple positions. But after the last few drafts it's becoming apparent our strategy is to pick one group possibly 2 and then just draft heavy in that group. Maybe because we have a small scouting department so you try your luck with multiple picks at one spot.
Maybe that works but if that's your strategy I wouldn't go burning draft picks on top of that along the way.
That is kinda understandable, but we have several contracts expiring from specific position groups and we can't afford them all. So we draft heavy on that particular group a year early so you have Leverage and know what you have already on the roster and not necessarily being forced to sign another FA. That's my take. Next year we will most likely draft OL heavy to get ready to replace the 3 year contract starters when they expire.
