Patrick Paul is still a developmental pick, odds are he's not ready right away.

Who's going to be ready at 32? The left tackle we took at 1.1 11 years ago was a project. You can only get what the draft gives.

Definitely true, but it can also work in our favor. We can't take a player that has already been chosen, but teams are only allowed to take one player with each pick. It becomes very difficult to block a team like the Chiefs from getting a good player because teams can't coordinate when they're all choosing the best option for their own team. That's how players sometimes fall in the draft to a team that is more than happy to scoop them up.

Agree with all of that. Just saying you cant be mad because who we get is a project. We just won the ****ing super bowl. Every draft is different and you can only take who's available. It is a crapshoot as much as we don't want it to be. Last year the first round really worked out kind of worst case. Three years from now he may be an all pro and it looks smart as shit. No one knows but we all get dead set on our own guys.
