you might if there is a player on the second round that you really need/want but you can't get him
and Fiske ends up sucking or even just being average
no matter what. Stafford could have had career-ending injury in 2021 then all those picks for nothing,
I don't think you can live in fear --- if a guy misses, he misses, but if you value a guy as a 1st round talent
and have to give up a 2nd to get him ... you have to do it.
I remember all in the 1970s that Rams would stockpile picks and not move up that much, and Rams never won
SB ... you have to be smart,t but bold.
Stafford was a risk, but a bold risk.
That's just life.
And in those case Fiske was different than some of the others ... a cut above. He may or may not be but
I can see how he fits better than guys who came later ... there was not real substitute, IMO for a DE-type
