They are riding the fence. Like they have been years. You're absolutely right. If they were in a win now situation. They would of drafted Howard or Lattimore at 10...but they know they have limitations at QB, and want fire power for next year.
I would of liked them to clean the roster of the highly payed vets (McCoy, Williams, Hughes). Its not tanking, it's rebuilding.
One bright spot is if all QBs enter in '18...we will have a shot at Falk and Rudolph, but Darnold, Rosen and probably Allen are out the equation (will go top 5).
