Furthermore, there's a good possibility neither of them are starters day 1, meaning you just spent a first round pick to NOT solve the problem you're looking to solve.
I don't think the probability is as high as everybody thinks.

I don't think the problem you're looking to solve is OT in 2025, though.
I think they feel like they've solved that as well as they could've reasonably been expected to.
The problem they're looking to solve is the revolving door at the bookends. And Conerly could do that (Simmons could as well) in that you theoretically have Moore as a possible throughput alongside the rookie for the next 5 years or so before you have to start looking at replacing Moore. Or maybe the rookie is the first step of the long-term plan in that he eventually becomes your LT at RT is an easier fix.
I think you address some longer term issues with OT in the 1st, even if it's not exactly what I'd be focusing on.
I think that 4-man pass rush HAS to improve. That's why I'm looking DL.
