Easy..there is not a true #1 pick in this draft. There are a handful of players that appear to be about even to me and they play different positions. IF we stay at #1 the direction we go will depend on where we are at the time of the draft.  I agree if we go edge Hutch would be my choice too.  Which direction we go should be decided much closer to the draft after free agency and cap cuts clear up. I could classify Hutch as the BAP edge guy, not the BAP of the entire field of players.

I think it would work the other way.
The darft is going to shape what you do in FA. Neal (or any other OT for that matter) did not establish themselves as a can't miss OT prospect, so we tagged Cam. If the team goes into FA knowing that they have Hutch in pocket, it's very likely overpaying for an OLB is not in the cards. If the darft is deep at WR, maybe don't break the bank for middling WR targets in FA.

FA is the band aid, not the darft.
