No straw men arguments, por favor. Nobody is expecting a single draft pick to transform a defense; the point is that Dallas could use notable upgrades at multiple defensive spots, and so it has to be prepared to take multiple shots there. It also very much needs a CB, which is why the notion of landing arguably the most NFL ready of high end CB prospects (Surtain) to go with other defensive picks makes a lot of sense.

You don't pass on a generational Pitts for a "solid" defender. I remember when Joey Bosa was talked down as only being solid...what if Surtain ends up being a top 5 CB for a decade and Pitts ends up falling between Eric Ebron and Vernon Davis? Whoopsie?

Besides, if Pitts is truly seen by teams as that special, he has no shot of making it to 10. I do think he could fall to 10, but that only happens if teams see him as "just" a top TE prospect and not special.
