No it was a pick for what they expected to need in 2025. That's one year not 3. I'm sure if they felt there was an O lineman sitting there that could help them immeditely they might have taken him. When you draft #31 overall it's about the same as a high 2nd rounder so I don't get too hung up on the fact that it was their first round pick. He may have been able to contribute more if he hadn't lost all that time after getting shot. We'll never know for sure but I'm positive Kyle didn't know he would get shot.
Does ignoring obvious needs this year in favor of possible needs next year seem wise to you?
I mean either we were all in for this season or we weren't. Some of the FO moves indicated we were, and the other moves indicated we weren't. So we end up half-assed.
