Drafting that safety both builds to the future and fills that gaping hole that can not simply be ignored in either strategy.

That's fine. You think we are a few pieces away. I don't think we are. We don't have depth which can only be built in the draft. We have too many holes in role positions which I would love to fill in the back of the draft. At times we are relying on average players in key positions like DeVito, when the draft should be finding you playmakers to fill that spot. And we are really overrating how critical some of our core guys are. Houston and Hali, yes. Dj and Flowers, very replaceable. I get that we can draft and make some free agent moves at the same time. But we really make it much harder to extend our window past a few years.
We almost beat an indy team that got whalloped in the second round by a team that is even better this year and didn't even win the conference. I think we are a good team and I get why people's concerns about our draft history creates urgency to win now. But sorry, I think the win now strategy only sets us up for disappointment and a guaranteed collapse by year 3. Just my personal opinion.
