Seems to me that if given the choice between a higher “value” player (albeit one who might take longer to hit his ceiling) and a lower value pick (who is already closer to their ceiling / closer to an immediate contributor) Gute will generally err on the side of long-term value even if it means a player who takes a while to start contributing. That’s not necessarily a bad thing of course but if you’re trying to go all-in to win the Super Bowl in a given year that’s probably not the most efficient move either - in that case perhaps you take a worse “value” who can contribute more right away, or, you know, you take a page from the Rams book and don’t even bother with that draft pick and instead trade it to get a proven impact player straight up. More than one way to skin a cat.</blockquote>
