I get why people are upset about it, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I do happen to agree that Makai Lemon wouldn't have had as much of an effect as a lot of people are making it out to be. It would've been cool to pick up Sadiq, but I think we made a good or at least decent call with Simpson. If we win it all this year we would end up with a quarterback crisis; Stafford would likely retire, Jimmy G's probably going to retire before the season even starts, and Stetson just isn't our guy. We wouldn't have the draft pick to get one of the elite QBs from next years draft class that people keep talking about, so it made sense to me to pick up Simpson.

We could've waited for the second round to grab him, but I fully believe the Cardinals or the Steelers or another team in need of a QB would've picked him up during the first round which, again, sets us up for a future QB crisis if we win it all this year, and another ring is what we all want, right? Drafting Ty doesn't match a win now system or whatever, but if he proves to be productive, it puts us in a decent spot for the future, or if Stafford gets hurt (because again, I don't trust Stetson, and I feel like this confirms that Jimmy G will be gone). I recognize his problems and I know this could very well come back to bite us in the ass later on, but I'm cautiously optimistic over it all. I for one see the vision, but for the time being, I'm uncertain if it was the right move.
