But we aren't always draft OL/DL in the first and to the extent we do, that's also true of every other NFL team. We have mostly for the last 4 or 5 years because before the last 3 years all we really needed under Payton was a Guard and a DE. And for the last 3 years we have needed to rebuild the OL after losing our staring LT, RT, and LG.
And again, I want BPA. If that's Jeanty and we can't trade down, fine take him, but the better scenario for this team is for McMillian, Graham, Carter, or maybe even Campbell to fall to #9. I doubt any of them will, but I think that would be a better situation for this team.
I get that you think Jeanty is a generational talent, but I also think that your position is that the pick at #9 has to be a skill player even if he isn't BPA. I think that's a really bad way to draft.
But, maybe you truly believe that Jeanty will be BPA when we pick. And if so that's cool. I don't personally think he's a generational RB. I'd certainly rank him behind Bijan and Saquon. And if that's the case, then I don't think he will be BPA at #9.
