Yes, it's a gamble and yes, I tend to prefer proven talent over the shiny new things in the draft, but at some point you (I) need players more talented than the luke-warm bodies I have on the bench.
This is the part that’s kept me from making the offer.
I basically have 4 players & some odds and ends that could be valuable (KJO, Pacheco, Mattison, Bell, GDavis, Deon Jackson, Mason, and a few upside TEs like Conklin, Fortson, Gray, JuJennings, & Likely)
So having 7 picks/players might help more than having 6?
But quality over quantity, landing both Gibbs & say, JSN is what moving up to 5 gives me. Plus more depth at WR with the known asset.
The gamble is if Boutte or Hyatt or whatever WR I get at 2.01 can be better than DJ Moore. Or if the RB I can get at 1.10 is as good as, or better than Gibbs.
It’s a really challenging call.
