If the FO thought the next Luke Keuchly was available at 13, should be pass on him and pick a different position?
And no disrespect but Foster is just a guy, with a 2mil per year contract: https://overthecap.com/position/inside-linebacker |
I see what your point is.
Then I'd say I rather trade down in order for BPA to match a need, and get extra value.
Mainly because I feel you never know what you draft, you're only guessing.
And as KI said, you can't have all the depth you'd like at every position. Especially if that means leaving a need unfilled.
