This was always my preferred plan, I just didn’t know how the FO was gonna pursue it, but seeing that we did in fact make a more than competitive offer to juju that was still team friendly, and then seeing this, gives me a better idea of where the FOs head is right now. They know they have low draft capital right now and that they may need more to replace Orlando potentially, they can not afford to reach for need and whiff.I think the bolded is a big thing here, as well as what comes after it. If you can fill the holes at WR and OLB with at least passable play, you don't have to reach for any specific position in the draft. If OL, WR, OLB, FS, whatever are the BPA at the time, you can take really any of those positions and not feel like you've left a gaping hole elsewhere. You at least have NFL quality options everywhere if you secure those 2 spots.
I feel like either creed Humphrey, terrace Marshall jr, or kwity paye is gonna be a raven at 27, but if a Christian barmore fell to 27 id love to feel content everywhere else and pair him with madubuike and make the edge rush a non factor and those 2 melt offensive game plans for 3 years together. Hard to make picks on falling talents like that when you have glaring holes on the roster
