Edit-I think Fletcher is good, I just think this would be a better move, would be more cap friendly, and adress more needs.
Also I think we shoulda traded down because he should be there in the mid round.

IMO that'd be a crappy plan simply because there were no decent free agent defensive linemen.
I wouldn't want a rookie as the QB of my defense anyway. The MIKE needs to be able to diagnose formations and make calls more than anything else. We have missed Pierce SO BAD in that respect. Fletcher gives us what Pierce did.
Fletcher's athleticism isn't his most valuable asset, it's his brain. The rest of the defense will be so much better because of him.
