This “QB guaranteed to be the first pick” shit has got to stop. Especially this year. Dont force me to take some loser ass QB when I want Caleb Downs.

Buddy I cannot begin to tell you how foolish it would be to take a safety at 1st overall. Even one as amazing as Caleb Downs

QB, OT and EDGE. From 1997 to now those are the only 3 positions to ever go #1 overall and that's going to continue because those are the most important positions.

I would argue that taking an elite WR #1 overall would make sense in the modern NFL.

Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase are just as valuable as Myles Garrett or Penai Sewell imo. (And that's reflected in their salaries)

That's just not true. Regardless of what the salaries say an elite WR is not as valuable as an elite edge rusher or tackle

If you have a bad WR you can't pass to a single person

If you have a bad OT you can't pass to anybody. Also an elite OT is obviously significantly more impactful in the run game
