Quote:while you take the 1 player, give me the 2 studs. As deep as this draft is in the 2nd round you just have no faith in your scouting dept. if you dont think you can find a future building block at the top of the 2nd. I guess were we different opinions is you think Allen is night and day better than a player you could get at say the 7th pick. Give me the 7th pick and Cle 2nd

Guarantee me two studs with the two picks we get, than obviously yeah, I'm taking 2 studs.

 

The more likelyhood where it's 1 stud vs a good player+lotto ticket in the 2nd, give me the 1 stud.

 

But yeah, I think we clearly have a different perception of Allen. I think he's right there with Garrett as a player, but obviously prefer Garrett due to edge rusher where we are more needy. I think Jon Williams can play 5T/3T and be an absolute force for us. We passed on Leonard Williams a couple years ago because of Marks and Odrick. Look at how that turned out...not that Odrick when he plays isn't a very solid player/Marks isn't still good, but don't pass on an elite talent because of what you have in some vets. You just never know what'll happen.

 

Plus, Odrick likely is out after this year. Alualu has been very solid this year, but he's better as a rotational guy than starter. Jon Allen next to Malik and Yannick with hopefully Fowler being moved around/improved pass rush moves over the offseason with Jack and Telvin at LB? That's a beast of a front 7 (not sure what happens with Poz/If Jack moves into MLB and we need a new SLB).
