It's not as if we DON'T have a franchise QB to protect, and it's not as if we DON'T have problems protecting him.

I agree here.

 

Listen, Tunsil isn't the guy I want to walk away with after day 1. But if we did, and Jack/ramsey are off the board, we could do a whole lot worse. I get we need defensive help badly, but you don't overdraft someone you may not like much just to say you worked on it. If Tunsil ends up geing a top 5 premier franchise LT then 3 years from now no one is going to complain. Right now? Sure, we want defense, we don't want top players available but we want to fit needs even if we may not think they are ideal fits in this scheme/have serious question marks. 

 

If Jack and Ramsey are gone which likely means SD passed on Tunsil so he's there at 5, he just became a legit option at 5. Beachum is coming off an ACL and Joeckel is likely gone after this year. LT definitely isn't cured for the long haul, and we do have a pretty important guy behind center that we need to protect.
