TBH, I would just prefer not to gamble in the top 10. 

But I will trust the new head coach to try and develop whomever we end up with. I just hope we just aren't continuing this very Cleveland Browns-esque QB journey in three years.

Whats the alternative? Sooner or later yiu have to gamble.  Unless you have that #1 pick, and it just happens to be the rare year there is a Luck or Lawrence type of prospect it’s almost always a gamble.

We could  go more tank mode and increase our chance of what is perceived as a better prospect but that doesn’t seem to be the path they want to go.

Last year you kept saying you didn’t want to gamble because this year had better prospects. 
I'm not saying totally waste a pick on a guy you don’t have faith in but for the most part you have to gamble sooner or later.

The issue this year is cost. It will cost quite a bit to get one of the top two guys in this draft. It's a better class overall(especially at the top) but the cost will be quite high to get to that point.

So pick one of the other guys.  That’s my point, if you are waiting for a sure thing, it might never happen.

Picking a guy with a 2nd round or lower grade in the top ten has a very unsuccessful history. That is how you start fuging up a draft.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
