Sticking with AOC 100% depends on the qb draft class and how they are graded:

If you have a class like 2004 - Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger 1983 - jim kelly, elway, marino 2005 - aaron Rodgers, alex smith, fitzpatrick (lol)

Point is sometimes there are multiple QBs that you have confidence in AND this is not common……if 2024 is one of those years……and it could be (IDK) you take one aggressively……if not take BPA.

Why do we NEED a top 5 pick?

Well ya we don’t ….except if we think there is one QB we want. This years draft, rumor was Ziggy wanted CJ and Mcd wanted Bryce. Ignoring Mcd, if we wanted CJ we would have needed to trade way up.

Bottom line, IMO, is if you think a guy will change the course of your franchise you go get him vs. playing conservative and trying to let him fall.

Someone here used mahomes as an example of being picked at 10……but 2 picks later at 12……houston takes deshaun watson. Maybe they liked Mahomes at 12 but he was gone and they selected watson, and in hindsight Houston would say we should have traded way up to guarantee we got your guy.

We need to get our guy …….
