Nope, not mutually exclusive. Top priority if FA should be OL who can protect Luck.

Top priority in the draft should be guys who can put the other SOB QB on his ass.

My opinion is you take pass rushers wherever you can find them and prioritize them over almost anything. Ansah is the best pass rusher that will potentially hit the market (Lawrence will get franchised). For me, priority list is:

1) Franchise QB
2) Guys who get to the other QB
3) Guys who protect franchise QB

Especially if the offense is designed to get the ball out quickly, which Reich's is.
