Could you imagine John Harbaugh saying something like: "Gee, this Lamaar Jackson guy is really good and all, but I really wish that the FO would have diddly-f*cked around and traded down to grab another first round guard and a second round linebacker instead." NO. **** NO! You take the QB. You don't trade 30 points of IQ for bigger biceps. You don't trade a CEO of an SP500 company for a better janitor and a better cashier and a better salesperson. It's so obvious that it's SICKENING to me. You take the executive. You take the leader. You take the person who can electrify your franchise and make people believe that maybe you won't be laughingstock dogshit for the next decade. You take the QB with the superior brains/willpower and you don't apologize to anyone for it. You round out your roster with a bunch of veteran FA and kick out the putrids once you feel like you're getting close. QB is the play.
The Ravens were ready built to add a QB, this is literally my whole point. Good teams that add QB's, even unconventional ones, can win quickly because the talent around them is good enough to support them early. The Raven's had a really good defense and a really good O line when they drafted him. Bad teams that add QB's have not had much success in the last 10 years.
