It might boil down to whether quality or quantity is the main determinant. For example, in 1978, the Browns had two first round picks, which turned out to be Clay Matthews, who at least is in the conversation as a potential HOFer, and Ozzie Newsome, who is in the HOF. However, the rest of the draft...

I agree with Tod -- the decision to go for 2 will be dictated by the score and the clock, just like before.

I’m not talking about the immediate, day-after grades that we see from the pundits every year.
