Really?  I'd have a hard time seeing that.  

This year is the year that Balkee earns his paycheck.  As Vic Ketchman used to say, this is a crystal ball business.  

Is Kalija Cancey the next Aaron Donald?  
Is Quentin Johnson a #1 flanker?
Is Nolan smith another Georgia Athletic freak that lacks elite technique or produciton?  
Is Darnell Washington A poor Man's Travis Kelce?  

That's a lot harder than picking the best QB prospect in a generation.  

As for needs,  the biggest need this team has is talent.  Can the kid play.  If we Draft Quentin Johnson and he goes to 3 pro bowls, who will care if we added another receiver?  If we draft Cyrus torrence and he can't protect the passer, did we really fill a need?  

Last year, i think that we took more risk because as a team we underperformed in 2021 and thus had more draft capital than we really should have.  So we were able to swing for the fences and take more boom or bust candidates.  I don't think we have that luxury this year.  It's not just about how well these kids translate, its going to be about how fast they can translate.  We can't have another redshirt year for the first two picks in this draft.   KC just won a SB with an entire rookie secondary.  With our cap situation we have to hit on half the first four draft picks if we hope to get past the divisional round this year.
