I get it. My fandom is just as long and if there was a clear can't miss franchise QB, you take him and run. There isn't in this draft. If you miss at the top on a QB it's worse than not taking one.
But if you don’t take your shots, you never get him. You may have to give up 3 first round picks another year and end up with Trey Lance or Bryce Young. If there ever is another Peyton Manning whoever has the first pick isn’t trading it. If we’re up there, I think we need to take a shot. If we miss, we’ll be up there again soon enough.
