well, not so much.....high draft picks are premium, specially the 10th pick of the draft....so Wilson has a 35M price tag (average), so if Dak's number is 40M, that 5M ain't going to get you much....that's not going to be the difference between building a defense and not building a defense......that top 1st round pick. that 10th pick can get you a Surtain, Farley, Parsons type of player for the next 5 years......I disagree. If you give up this year's first and Dak's rights for Wilson, you still have free agency and the rest of the draft picks to invest in shoring up your defense. Conversely, you have arguably the most dominant offense in the entire league.
and offense perhaps can get you to the playoffs. but you need defense to win.... ala tampa vs. KC......and like I mentioned Wilson is 1-3 in the playoffs without that vaunted defense..... getting to playoffs would only be a moral victory, not what we need. I am sure you will say there is 9 other picks in the draft we can use to shore up the defense, but its not a top 10 pick and getting an impact defensive player that we so badly need.....not sure how much better can the offense get, but it won't equate to championship type team. and Russell's contract runs out in 2023....and he will probably want north of 45-50M for his next contract.....
