I think they were fully ready to take one this year, but didn't want to pay the crazy prices, cause so many teams were trying to do the same thing. I can't really blame them logically. I mean yeah, I'd really like to have a good young QB. My entire lifetime QB here has been a black hole. A couple standout seasons here and there, (Brad Johnson, Kirk Cousins, Mark Rypien, Mark Brunell) but outside of a one off here and there...32 different starting QB since Rypien...meanwhile the Pats have had like 3 (not literally, but Bledsoe and Brady ate up a LOT of that time).
My theory watching them take a LB this year was, we did need a MLB, we got ate up there a bit last year, and if SO many teams were making moves last year to change the QB situation, then THIS year there should be a LOT less teams looking to do the same, so in THEORY that means it'd be way more cost effective to try to get one this year. But I guess we'll see. Chase Young was the right pick last year, but man Herbert is the TRUTH.
Who would have thought that Wilson would go on to do what he did, with Luck and RG3 having their issues and being drafted ahead of him.
Jeremy already talked about Cousins, that was a very stout choice and worked out well. Pisses me off, they let him go.
