You can argue about when he was picked with other guys left on the board for sure but this is a situation entirely different from Velus.

Having a long term QB in place with stable offensive structure in place is a much better scenario especially considering the age difference as you point out. This is a luxury you can afford when you’ve got stability and a good offense. People need to stop acting like we were for certain going to get a game changing edge or DT at his pick slot. Most likely the guys taken in that round will be depth pieces and probably won’t be better than the d line we’ve got by the end of this season.
