Atlanta in the middle of a rebuild taking a LBer in a draft LOADED with guys just like Troy Andersen seems like such an obvious fit at 58. Just feels like 62 and 145 can probably get you to 58 there.
But like you said, barring that, feel like Travis Jones is someone you've still gotta take there over a 3rd safety. And I think you can make an argument for Bonitto or even Petit-Frere or Raimann there. Leal or Cameron Thomas as more versatile inside/outside DL pieces. Shit, Nakobe Dean (dart throw on upside) or Jalen Tolbert (youth and size).
I'm just not gonna talk myself into the idea that S3 was such a dire need, even in the longer term, that we needed to attack it at 62.

Absolutely my take. Is it ideal having Bush out there on significantly more snaps? Not really, but as you say right now he's not worse than Cook as a rookie. DL was the need and there was a fair amount floating about at that point.
