I think Tee Higgins could also become memorable as an All-Pro that came in with Burrow.
That makes me question the three backers pick even more. I understand needing four with the switch to the 3-4, but we have ends that can play OLB in the 3-4. I guess we do need competition and depth, but I just thought we could go elsewhere, especially ignoring offensive line until our 6th pick.
If we can get Moss as a free agent at TE, I'll feel a little better about this draft, but there's 31 other teams in the league (not every team is looking for a TE, I know).
Overall, I'll give it a B with the possibility for an A+ if Adenji works out because I think we needed to go offensive line earlier, but I think Higgins could become a big name with Burrow and also picking up Moss would push it over the top.
I think it's as simple as they were sticking to their board. I think all 3 were BPA picks and when you're rebuilding an entire position group it makes sense to get as many players in that room as possible.
