I read that 27 of the top 50 prospects are either DL or RB...this an arbitrary ranking but it does speak to how lop-sided this year's draft is.
It means that some talent is going to fall...because teams will wait because of the surplus at one/two positions. Scarcity comes into play.
Just from casual observation...it seems like a situation where using next years first would place them in position to get in on it in the early/mid 2nd round.
You lose the 5th year option but gain an additional player THIS season....and the team is in a dynastic run.
If you can land a player you would take at 31 in another draft...then why not?
