I'd be fine with that as long as the defense showed it was going to be dominant, because next year should see at least a couple franchise QBs in Barkley and Wilson. Hopefully, anyway. But a lot of people will not be fine with it. They want everything fixed RIGHTNAW. Rizzo and the rest of Cleveland sports talk radio was already calling for H&H's heads this year, in the fucking second year of a new regime. If they suck again next year all bets are off. Shit might hit the fan. Fans will be going nuts.
So it depends on what theory you advocate. Placate the fans and go all offense and go big with the RG3 pick and other offensive pieces, basically praying that RG3 is the real deal...or do you look at next year and figure we should just solidify the defense even more and make it potentially elite in the near future, but sacrifice another year of terrible offense and risk alienating the fan base and turning the temperature up on your regime by about 500 degrees.
The fans that don't like how the FO is running things can take a hike. Rout them over the 480 bridge because all they'll do is bitch about something no matter what happens.
I'm all for RG3 at 4. All for it. If the FO doesn't like him, that won't be great for my opinion, but I am only a fan. Nothing more. If they decide defense is the way to go, lets do it.
Since this FO has taken over, we've had the closest thing to a finished product on either side of the ball. Granted, our offense is prehistoric, but everything comes in time.
I'm really happy with the defense's position right now. If they invest one or two more high picks into that defense, the team will be in a position to try to hit on later round defensive guys. If the later round picks don't pan out, they're depth. If they do pan out, defense gets far better. I hate to say the cliche thing, but Rome wasn't built in a day.
