And teams need to still build for the future.

I cant imagine a worse way to build for the future than to sign an aging vet QB to a $180M contract ($100M guaranteed) for four years and then wasting the 8th overall pick on a 24 yr old rookie QB with the mobility and knees of a 50 year old construction worker and then sit him on the bench for at least two years while the clock on his rookie deal ticks away.

They would have been much better served trading the pick to one of the many teams trying to deal for it (getting a 2025 first round pick and other compensation), and taking their QB of the future next year with one of their two first round picks, delaying the rookie contract time table.

Or, here is a thought, maybe drafting a player that fits into the win now strategy they committed to when signing Cousins? Like Odunze who went with the next pick?
