Well, we don't. But the question is whether with the number of clear holes on this roster we're better off with multiple good players over one elite player. Particularly when your list of elite players are on the wrong side of the ball.

That's fair. It depends on what they do in March via free agency though. If you sign DE's like Chandler Jones and Randy Gregory you may feel compelled to trade down to pick up players like Traylon Burks at WR or Tyler Linderbaum at C.

Same on offense. If you sign a T like Terron Armstead and WR's like Mike Williams & Michael Gallup or resign D.J Chark you could stay put and take Hutchinson or Thibodeaux at DE.

Coaching staff plays a factor as well. If McDaniels ends up here I see them looking for a pair of TE's. Trey McBride and Charlie Kolar would probably be high up on their wishlist. Even with Dan Arnold coming back.

There's too many questions right now. Still too early. Always fun to play armchair general manager though.
