The reason you don't draft for 2020 is because rookies should never be counted on to be impact players year 1 and this roster is two off seasons away from being competitive enough for the playoffs + the coaching is terrible outside of Gruden. The optimum build is to try form the most talented team we can in the following years vs seeing who can just plug holes this year

When Jack is at his worst is on early downs against the run when he is playing MLB in 4-3.  Which he wouldnt be if he moves back to SAM, and stay in as the MIKE on passing downs.  He was good in both in 17.  Jack didnt occasionally play sam in 17 he played every snap at SAM.  Im pretty sure Jack was the only defender to play every snap that year   I watched every game so I know what he played but will you send me the link for the  % where Jack played that year?  Poz played MLB in 4-3 base as i stated in a few posts up.  When you just plug holes for the year is when you feel like you are going to be title contenders and I dont see that next year but with another good draft and improvement form Minshew we could def win the division.  You want to draft players you feel that can help you this year and the future.  Dave said it himself, thats one thing he has learned is to draft a player that you feel can help you now and in the future.  With drafting Simmons I feel like he could step in day 1 and help and be a building block of the future.
