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.

I don't care if you draft Jesus Christ to play wide receiver, Hill and Kelce are your top two receivers. We've gotten perfectly respectable WR3 numbers out of Watkins/Robinson/Pringle/Hardman. Do we need to be working new talent in? Of course.
None of it's going to matter if the opponent has a stout front 4 that can get to Mahomes and can drop 7 in coverage. You're likely to run into that in the play-offs or a Super Bowl.
Now, injury problems are what made that happen; but again, in September you've got one decent starter in LDT coming back, and we're writing in Niang who hasn't played football in almost two years. And I think we've got MAYBE one guy in Alegretti that might be starter quality.
That's not going to get you to SB 56.
