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

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

This is never a true statement.
Again just cause you said so, doesn’t mean its not. Your opinion is not fact.

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.
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.

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

Exactly. We have a need.

We have historical data over decades that shows over-drafting for needs is -EV and drafting BPA is +EV

I thought this was a deep OL class

What you're missing is this hypothetical where a Bowers or Odunze falls to us. THAT does not happen every year and is the most important part of the calculation.
Odunze would be WR1 in most drafts and is an A+-tier WR prospect and Bowers is as S-tier as it gets. Best TE prospect in history. These guys don't fall to 14 in basically any draft.
