I would take my chances that he will be a better QB than Harvey was a DE!  

The flipside of your argument is, if you pass on him and he turns out to be Patrick Mahomes 2.0, you will be kicking yourself for the next 15 years here.  I mean, we passed on Mahomes and Watson and took Fournette because we had Bortles locked up.  We took a RUNNING BACK at #3 who is no longer on our team, replaced now by a rookie free agent, instead of picking Patrick Mahomes.

Just think about that for a second.  Let that sink in.

I'll take my chances and say Trevor will be a better DE than Harvey was!

And like you said, if you pass and he is a hit, you bear the brunt of that bad decision for years to come. That's a big fault with the current regime - either underestimating the prospective talent of a draft pick, or overestimating the talent currently on the roster. We've been bitten for YEARS by that bug, here's hoping we get it right this season, no matter who's making the pick.
