re: If Brock Bowers or Rome Odunze are still on the board at 14, do you take one of them?

This is never a true statement.

The team is desperate at certain positions specifically on the oline and dline.

We have a 2nd round pick and free agency

Our team is fricked from bad drafting and bad cap management. There is no perfect solution.

And drafting a BPA at TE and WR makes no sense.

Drafting the best player (where we also have a need) always makes sense.

If the position you need isn’t graded as high then you trade down pick up assets and help your team.

And pass on a player valued much more highly than his draft position? We are much less likely to have that opportunity later.

At WR we have Olave and Shaheed; at TE we have Taysom, juwan and foster. These are not necessary major needs. Who do we have at tackle?

Again just cause you said so, doesn’t mean its not. Your opinion is not fact.

Free agency is basically over and we can’t pay for a decent player that’s left. Yes we have a second round puck where most the top end talent at your position is probably gone.

Again a player you value much more highly. But trading down is a decent option many teams do because they don’t necessarily need a TE or WR as much as they need a olineman or tackle. It happens every year with some team- this isn’t some crazy concept.
