Hedging your bets, a lesson in drafting success.

I think the depth at DT caused teams to pass on the top-tier talents and go for other needs assuming they can pick a DT later with some value. This helped us get a top 20 talent way after the fact. We didn't reach for need. We took the best player on the board. The fact we picked a player that we had very little need for makes me feel confident he will be good

I think you're dead wrong.  With this pick, Gettleman made us dominant right now, and set us up for success for about another 8 years.  With the money opened up by Josh and Stew off the books soon, we can sign KK, Norwell, and Turner.  We've used the 5th year option on Star, so that keeps him cheaper longer.  

"Big men give you a chance to compete."  I don't think people understand that deeply enough.  You always need DL/OL first.  Through the good and bad of position groups changing . . . if you're stout up front, you're going to compete.  It happened here with Josh.  In Nippleshorts I trust.

Didn't you create that other thread on selling you on why Butler was the right choice? Stop fugging whining already.
