What player could we have taken at #31 who would have seen more snaps than Hill will this year?
I'm not sure there was to be honest. However that doesn't make the pick correct as there were other options.
1.) Could have traded up for Linderbaum. To be fair, I didn't see BAL snagging him and thought after the DAL pick, he'd fall to us. CIN showed they were willing to go after there guy.
2.) Trade back. There was still depth on the perimeter at DB and still other good players that could have been had in the mid 2nd. This allows more flexibility by adding depth throughout more positions.
For me either of those is fine, and I'm not anti Dax. I get the arguments with Bates and/or Bell being potentially out the door. I also understand we do utilize 3 safety sets and he can play the slot. With the first round picks, I just want to see them on the field, especially when making a Super Bowl push. I just wonder if there was a better way to go about approaching the draft as a whole.
Unfortunately with Hindsight and could haves we'll never know. I'm not overly excited by this draft, but they did get talent.
