Man, teef, if the defensive lineman in front of you, a LB, aren't very good then it makes your life more difficult.
However, if the QB throwing passes to you, a WR, isn't very good...then you suck.
?
Maybe you make that move if you have a QB you are SO SURE is your future, but no offense, you don't do it for EJ. even with what we knew about him back then coming off a reasonable first year.
I just keep replaying these mistakes in my head. It's easy to paraphrase "sins of the father' here with "sins of previous GMs and coaches".
They are gone, but we are left to suffer.
