Not when you factor in opportunity cost.
DL runs deeeeeep in this draft and at 31 there's an excellent chance that you're looking at someone who's only marginally better than the person there at 63.
The board will reveal itself, though. I'd be surprised if there isn't someone I definitively want over the remaining options by the time we pick. When we were up at 30 last year, there was no question for me - I wanted Karlaftis.
We'd spent literally months talking ourselves into the reasonableness of taking a few OL, Ebiketie, Mafe, a pair of ****ing safeties, WRs that went all the way to Moore, some were even fine with Sam Williams, Travis Jones, Nakobe Dean, DeMarvin Leal, etc....
But when it came time to make the pick it was, to me, obvious who that pick should be and it was the pick KC made.
I think it happens again here. There will be a person at a position we need who's a standout over the available alternatives while a couple other defensible picks at positions of need will have enough depth to wait on into the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Maybe it's Anton Harrison or maybe it's Myles Murphy. Maybe it's Zay Flowers or Quentin Johnson or hell, Calijah Kancey.
There will be 'the guy'. I think it's wrongheaded to say there's any one obvious position group that we'll hit.
