If you’re not getting a top 10 guy, you either take a limited ceiling player and hope that’s good enough to be just kind of alright or you take a super raw player who’s going to get his ass ruined a lot early on.
In both cases, you don’t know what you really have until year 2 or more. And if you don’t have the patience to see their development through the whole process, then don’t bother drafting them ever

Not every developmental tackle is going to be as bad as Suamataia, his failure also doesn’t mean you stop trying. Yes, they ****ed up throwing him into the mix so early without development time and no viable plan B, but he was so historically bad and unplayable that you can’t depend on him improving. If he does develop then that’s icing on the cake but for ****’s sake take another swing and have a plan B (i.e. Humphries).
