A big time standup LB (QB of the defense), improve the pass rush, improve oline depth. Get lucky with injuries. They can win over 6.5 games. Fail in any one of those areas and the bottom falls out pretty quickly.

I'm not for picking and choosing when you get your QB. I think you have to strike when the iron is hot and the opportunity presents itself. But you're right about the fact that most of the teams landing those top 5 picks are just bad organizations that fail to build a good overall roster. I do think they're going to do some mire rule tweaking soon to further benefit offenses. Offensive ststs were booming for years but have been trending downward now for a few years. The NFL knows that it's offense that drives the casual viewer and this most recent SB is probably going to be the impetus to further meddle with the game to get those yards and scoring trending upward again. I think they're going to do something to help OLs with pass protection, I'm just not sure what.

Teams drafting a QB in the top 5 are usually just really bad personnel wise and/or not smart in the front office. Establish a strong front office and coaching staff that drafts well for multiple seasons. Then and only then do you go in for a QB. A good team is not drafting in the top 5, even if you have mediocre QB play. A good QB on a bad team won't win Super Bowls. An average QB on a really talented roster and FO can pull it off.

A'Shawn Robinson is a prime candidate for cap cut. I think he's a good player but his production could be replaced early in the draft. I don't believe in Wharton and B. Brown is a NT.

Everyone always acts like a top pick is the only way to find a franchise QB but in this current century it has empirically not led to championships.

so much depends on the draft and free agency. At this point, considering the schedule, I would not bet that we win over 6 games.

Consider the source

And he needs to pull his head out of his ass about calling plays. He doesn't have the talent/ability to be both HC and OC yet and it shows.

Yes, and don't think they're convinced this offense can get on track to compete. Dan will need to knock it out of the park this free agency and draft to give this team a chance to have a winning record.

Explain your thinking on DL---I am interested in hearing more opinions about it. Had a dream that we signed Cooper Kupp to a 1-year deal. I know. My therapist told me.

OL, DL, pass rush or off-ball linebacker. No 1st round offensive weapons in this draft. I'm a BPA guy, but that dog won't hunt when the oline or dline is getting manhandled after one injury. So, everything EXCEPT the #1 target from this list.

and losing Icky and losing rico

Devil's advocate: I played for Winterfield in Pop Warner. I do not call them we. Seriously: I had the same thought,

He was a good sub, and the first year after this injury--especially for the bigguns--I do not expect much even if he can return mid season

I could easily see BPA being OL or DL at #19. I’m biased towards improving the line of scrimmage.

Well I guess there are it really a lot of us but is seemed like you were addressing the general population.

We won only 8 games and now are rewarded with a brutal first place schedule. The odds reflect that.

Where did you get the "lot" part from?

we can't afford NOT to

I mean are you really expecting to win a SB ? Last year Seahawks +6000 Patriots +8000 3 of the top 5 SB odds didnt even make the playoffs. But go ahead and still not understand odds if you are determined to.

I’m the biggest hater of women’s sports on this board, but agree with your statement. That was fun to watch. I was actually thinking during the game that it’s too bad there aren’t enough good women hockey players to create a legitimate pro league in the US.

Made it a better win I was starting to lose hope, the Canadian goalie was doing a Bobroskvi impression, Knights goal was a huge relief And people say women's sports cant be exciting

KD was just on another level tonight.

Brandon Miller 1-12 from 3. Geesh.

Yeah but we are starting in the hole this time, with the offseason needs. I am trying to think of what major position we lost at the last minute in 2024 that dictated what they had to do. Little bit at a loss at RB with Brooks. We did lose Jewel but that was after we couldn’t address it. At least we know LOT ahead of time. But we were in the opposite position, getting a recent 1st rounder and major piece back with DB. This is flipped from last year.
