Consider our last few 1st rounders were Davenport & Ruiz. Would you not be willing to give that up for 4+ years of elite QB play?

In other words, is 2 or 3 1st rounders worth another trophy on the mantle?

Thoughts, comments ?

I'd much rather have a proven commodity over picks, but then again I'm not a huge draft groupie so there's that.

That’s a tough one Major. I agree with your logic in that a guy like Wilson is probably worth 3 low first round picks. But Another variable in the equation is the dollar price you have to pay Wilson in contract/cap money as an elite QB vs the same cost of 3 first round picks. If they hit on another Ram, Lattimore, and Jordan with those three picks then it’s not worth it. I’d be tempted to risk it though.

I've only seen a bit of Once Upon A Time, but she was on Craig Ferguson, and that's good enough for me

Nope. Not really. I like the young ones that turn out good. But, I'll take a proven player over draft picks any day given the vast majority of drafted players have very minimal impact on a whole. Yes, there can be a remarkable draft class by a team here or there, but that is the exception rather than the rule.
