I'm completely okay with drafting Te'o if he's available, but if we have to "settle" for one of the next 2-3 guys, I'm definitely ok with that as well
Yeah, good point, but I can say that about every position OTHER than QB. How many of the top TEs have a Super Bowl ring?? How many of the top Safeties have a super bowl ring? How many of the top corners.. how many of the top WRs (Fitz, Johnson, Johnson, Marshall, Jones, White, DT).
So I don't think that's an indication that they aren't "needed." I personally look at the top defenses, and of the top defenses how many have a top MLB. Just as you need a top QB to have a top offense, you need a top MLB to have a top defense. Sure you can have a good offense without a top QB, and sure you can have a good defense without a top MLB.... but neither will be great without those players.
