[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 998303, member: 10086"] I think both sides pro and anti 2023 draft actually have really good points of concern. I actually agree on the part that many of this years draft class are riskier prospects (from a perspective of lack of experience, injury or level of competition etc..) One thing that I picked up on very quickly is that we are in a rebuild across 2 draft classes (2023-2024). Nobody is asserting we won’t be competitive, but playing the odds we also should temper expectations. Our trade capital is spread across 2 drafts and expecting a singular #42 selection to make up for the difference of a 15 year Veteran or 1st year starter would be extremely presumptuous. Not to mention swallowing Rodgers sunk $. That leads me to believe we are setting ourselves up for a push in 2024. By doing so we benefit from these conditions. 1. We get 1 year of seasoning for 13 draft picks. 2. We likely can expect another future consecutive draft with similar or better draft capital. We should see 3-4 additional Compensatory selections and likely TWO Day1 selections. Not including selecting mid Rounds or earlier in ‘24. There is no reason to capitulate by reaching for a top #20 selection at #13 when you can have a top #6 selection at #6 in the next 12 months 3. We get Cap Straight. Brian can then get Semi-Aggressive in 2024 FA. We could even see moves on the level of our 2019 Free Agency Approach. Next offseason we can grab a substantial high caliber Veteran, FA OL. With multiple high end draft selections we might consider doubling down at OL with a 2024-top 50 selection (or before) I also fully expect 1 more WR on the caliber of a WR2 (or better)through the draft or FA in 2024 Offseason. I will wager that Brian gives us a High Caliber WR next draft. Yes, you heard that correctly and if our draft placing is Top 10? Possibly on the Level of WR1 in the coming draft. We need to remember that we are not accustomed to drafting ~25 players in mid-earlier rounds in consecutive drafts. We are also not accustomed to having a First year starting QB. Thus, we shouldn’t expect our customary draft or FA expenditures. We get 1 bonus year to get these new guys acclimated and get Cap sound. [/QUOTE]
