So we take a guy we don't need for a year in a weak draft for that position and pass on a guy who could come in and contribute immediately.
People don't seem to understand this point. The draft is a game unto itself. It's an art. It's not just who you take but when you take them.
Cleveland didn't just $3it their pants and take Johnny Football. They took (arguably) one of the best O line prospects in the draft, waited, AND got Johnny Football.
Need AND value. Not one or the other. Both.
Dorsey could have done the same. We could have gone CB or WR or O line in the first. All would have given us value AND filled a need.

If Dee Ford ends up being a good pass rusher, he's a good pick. Period. I'm not convinced he will be, but he plays a very critical position.
Drafting for need is the same strategy we pull every ****ing year. We yelled BPA from the top of our lungs, and now all of a sudden we're back to drafting for need.
