The problem with your perspective, is talent.
Every year the talent pool is different, every year your needs are different.
You don't draft a CB, say, #2 overall ONLY if he's going to be a #1 shutdown corner and nothing else.
Hell, he might be the best zone corner coming up in college who plays "alright" in man coverage against bigger, physical receivers.
You might have a deep glaring need for a #2 CB who can play zone, as well as man. And you might have that need for "some time".
Why wouldn't you draft that way?
Whether you like it or not, whether you accept it or not, or whether you're ignorant of the facts or not, WE WILL NOT DRAFT A PLAYER WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A NEED FOR.
So yeah, CB is a slight need, much smaller of a need than it was before, but a likely selection if we manage to trade back to around the #3 spot. Unlikely he'll go #1.
Drafting a QB, on the other hand, is a waste of a pick. We don't need a QB, we have one, we have three for that matter, and our #3 guy had a better college career than Geno or Nassib, and our #2 guy backed up one of the best QB's to ever play the game, and our #1 guy posted one of the highest Passer Ratings int he NFL last year.
Did I mention we already spent near the equivalent of a first rounder on that #1 QB this year, and we have a whole new FO and Coaching staff in place? And that the likelihood of us drafting a QB, barring Injury, in the next 2 drafts is zero?
YOU (kind of we, but less me, and more or less the stupid masses) need to step away from this mentality that the #1 pick, or a top 5 or top 10 pick has to be a guy who gets drafted in that number (IE, you can't draft a CB #1 overall, and you can't draft a guard inside the top 15). You also need to get over the fact that what most of you are buying into right now, is smoke and mirrors. This whole "Dorsey said we would draft BPA" doesn't discount the fact that he's never stated we wouldn't draft FOR NEED as well. Some of YOU let the facts go in one ear and out the other.
We NEED a Right Tackle, we might ALSO NEED a Left Tackle. Two positions that are nearly priceless in the amount of importance they have for our offense going forward if we are to make a playoff run.
And I say that word "priceless" in retrospect to the fact that we've, again, already signed a #1 QB. So now the value of adding another QB is no longer priceless, it holds a weighted value.
Right now the value of another QB on this roster is that of Camp Fodder for competition at the #3 spot.
Not because we think Geno could be the #1 guy.
