Agree. It would've been improved, but not to the same degree at all. Our OL went from bottom 5-7 to top 5. If we'd gotten Chubb and just Smith, or maybe Smith and another guard prospect, the improvement might've been to somewhere in the middle of the pack. So while our pass rush would've likely been better, I'm not sure it would've been better enough to offset the lesser OL improvement.

And it doesn't matter because time travel isn't real. I'm glad we have Nelson.
