Not saying he's the comp, but - to me - Myles Garrett is the talking point. I, like many, said the Browns should take Garrett, because he's just that good. I loved Watson, but he wasn't as sure a thing as Garrett. The problem with that thinking is the gap in payoff. It's like a 1 in 25 chance of winning a thousand bucks vs a 1 in 100 chance of winning a million. The QB is just so much more valuable. Garrett is a star. He's been everything the Browns could have hoped for, and it only matters so much. This is an issue with every position outside of QB. WR, OL, DB, and DL units have big impacts on the game, of course, but it's very hard for any one player on any of these units to have an outsized difference on the game, and in the current NFL, it's very hard to keep high-end units together.
QB's do have outsized impacts, and once you have your QB, you're not going to let him go. People always say you can't copy the Patriots, because they're their own thing, but the one constant - aside from BB and Brady - is that they tend to be good enough everywhere to take advantage of your weaknesses. Rather than saying they want the best DL or WR's, they make do with good players and refuse to accept weaknesses elsewhere so that one unit can be particularly good. OL, DB, and LB are probably their best groups today, but with the exception of Gillmore, they haven't poured extra assets into those groups. They find OL who fit and have the best OL coach in the league; they find DB's who fit and have BB; and they're able to get quality LB's for relatively cheap, because they don't fit as well for most other teams.
In the process of building a complete team, some guys will hit bigger than expected, and NE has their examples, but for a bad team that's trying to right the ship, you only draft a guy like Myles Garrett if you don't like the QB's and if you're fine being bad again for at least another year. There is literally zero chance that Chase Young will turn around your football team. He can be a great piece, but bad teams need a great QB and a lot of pieces - not random great pieces sprinkled in here or there.
