Beane said that there is a lot of depth at DE in this draft. He then proceed to use his top pick to select a depth/rotational DE that is that same type of DE he always drafts/signs. There are other positions where we need starters or more upgrades.
He then ignored these other obvious needs (DT, LB, WR) by trading an asset to take a CB that won’t see the field without injuries.
So he used his 1st 2 picks of draft, not the 1st 2 picks of day 3, to draft depth. Just insane poor use of early picks, which is something he has consistently done in his tenure as GM. He should have been gone with McDermott, instead got a promotion.
This team needs new ideas/perspectives, instead we just do the same stuff over and over again.
