Being ok with losing is not cool imo. I know we as fans we always want the best player possible but if I was in there playing, no way I play to lose.

If I'm sitting there watching the game and engrossed in the moment, I'd want the team to do well.  I'd be pissed with bonehead plays, etc. like any other game.

But when draft position is tied to the W-L record, and wins and losses can mean the difference between getting a franchise QB or not, then the broader picture is preferable.

It takes talent to win...period.

There were a lot of people here not on board with Brown at 9

In your opinion was Brown THAT MUCH better of a selection than Henderson? It takes talent to win. Henderson is certainly talented.
Had we gotten Brown at 9, who would our CB at 20 been? Damon Arnette? Or perhaps we had to wait to pick 42 and get whatever is left currently? Not shut down CBs according to what most draft niks are saying. It was Okudah/Henderson, then the rest of the guys were a mixed bag.

I just don't get the hand wringing about being pick 9 instead of pick 7.....
Especially if we're splitting hairs over good players at positions of need. It isn't like we missed out on a franchise QB. We can still get a run stuff NT in this draft... We can still land a really good WR. We still have the ability to get a good RB and some interior OL depth.
Hell, we got a shot at Josh Jones if people are still hell bent about getting an OT
