Underhill reported more than once that Davenport was a SP pick, he felt that after the Min. playoff game that a DT was the missing piece.
Building a very good team 1st means that you have a better chance to get to the SB even if you don't have a Mahomes, or Allen or Burow or even a Hurts. And if you have built a very good team then you could theoretically use a couple 1sts to move up to get your guy and STILL have a very good team that the transition to the new QB would be smoother
Also there have been quite a few franchise QBs drafted #10 or later, so if lets say next yr or even in 27 we are picking from 16-25 a trad up to top 10 would not be as expensive.
So if we missed hitting big on some OL and DL picks you're saying we should just stop drafting OL and DL?
I didn't say we should not be looking for a QB in the draft , I said just not THIS draft and certainly not trade up to #1 costing us at least 2 #1s and probably a 2,and 3 or even more. That would but our return to contention back 2 yrs because the draft is what we need to improve the team the most. AND what if Ward is a bust much like Trey Lance or Zach Wilson . Then you have very limited draft capitol and no franchise QB
