Bosa at two is not a overdraft at all.

He would an overdraft in my opinion. He ain't no Von Miller. Bosa hasn't even broken 8.5 sacks a season in his entire college career. Just so that you have some sort of idea, Von Miller had 17 sacks in 2009 playing for Texas A&M. In terms of my personal evaluation of Bosa, I am with Willie McGinest, as in he isn't a top 3 player. Is he a good defensive player? Sure he is, but not to the degree of a must-draft at the No.2 overall pick.
Listen up, we need to learn our lesson. People in a way did warn us about Solomon Thomas about him being a "tweener", although he ended up being much worse than a tweener, for what is worth it was at least a doubt that a good number of analysts had casted, but Lynch pulled the Stanford alum card and chose to ignore it and the guy busted out.
For the No.2 overall pick, we really can't afford to fxxk up again. You need to look at everything with a microscope. Why only 8.5 sacks? You have to be inquisitive and ask questions. Don't just follow the hype, as in well everyone say he is good then he must be good. Not everyone. Why would Willie pick Q instead of Bosa for us? Willie isn't a scout, the guy played the position, well OLB at a high level for his entire career. May be he knows a thing or two about pass rushers? You can't just be biased and shove a negative analysis to the side just because you are blinded by your preference. Let's have some sort of objectivity, shall we?
This is what I think and I didn't say this myself, like everyone have noted, this draft class is a good year for pass rushers. Agree? There are a good number of pretty good pass rushers. Agree? However, that doesn't mean Bosa is some monster or force of nature that you must draft him as high as No.2 overall. My assessment is, you wouldn't go too much wrong as long as you pick an EDGE within the 1st round. But, at 2? I would say he would be overdrafted. This isn't a diss on Bosa, I think he is a pretty good player, but he is not an exceptional player, that is the difference.
If you truly don't want to trade down (I can't see why) and if you want to take a player disregard of need, then take Q and we will stop talking about Metcalf.
