I am hopeful that he's a long-term starter. I would like to hedge that bet with more talent.

I get it, I do.
But I don't think we're in a position to "hedge".
We should bring in starters, not backups. If you're "hedging" you're admitting from the get go that said draft pick is going to be a backup, at least for some time, under normal circumstances.
I just don't like it. Too many needs to be spending resources on contingency plans. For sure, draft volume for depth but not in the early rounds.
