Extracting maximum value is obviously ideal. But guess what? We suck. The draft is ALSO a way to add quality players, which is exactly what we need to do.
I hear you, and I would have been fine with either guy. How much less does positional value matter in this draft?
Like you said, I'd feel much better if money was spent to fix the Oline. If that were the case, that doesn't change positional value, historically. But it might have changed the...

Let's just celebrate we have someone to watch before our Oline gets him killed!

But continue posting any content from anyone on Twitter to show everyone how bad we screwed this up with Kyler.
