Grab a QB. Matt Ryan ain't getting no younger. You get the 5th year option. Options.

They won't... but they should.

He's only 33, I think they'd be crazy to take a QB who might not play for 3 years, especially when they need to win now.

He's only 33 but not even a top 5 QB anymore really
I think he's got 2 seasons left (2019 and 2020) before they can dump that contract he got.
They could get Haskins, sit him 2 years and move on from Ryan before dumping any more into a QB that is quickly sliding from former MVP to fringe top 10.
He isn't the talent some other QBs in the league are. I don't see Ryan playing into 40 like Brady. He'd be 37 if he ran the entire contract out.

Like I said... they won't, but I think they should.
They could use rounds 2-4 to address a lot of other areas like OL and D.
They were hit hard with injuries, they'll be bouncing back and won't be picking this high again for awhile I'd imagine.... just saying, a shrewd GM uses times like this to roster talent for the future. 
If nothing else, you have trade capital in a couple season (either Ryan or a good young star likely to get some mop up time like Jimmy G)
