Just trust the Appaloosa!

Hey he could probably pick what coach he wanted if he came here. However as a fan I don’t really want him on our team. Before these allegations I was all in, 3 firsts, CMC, Burns whatever it took. Not so much anymore…

Neal and BC on the left with Moton and FA/Brown/late pick on the right with Elf in the center would be a huge jump with our new OL coach. Brown and Neal in general would add so much weight/power on the line. It would also help CMC have cleaner holes and take less hits.

We really don’t need a LB or Safety with our top 10 pick. I get he is going to be great, but by the time we actually fix our offense Burns, Chinn, Horn etc are going to want to get paid. If one of the big 3 LTs makes it to us, it should be easy…

What about 77.4% 42 TDs to 4 INTs? Mac Jones against really good competition. Seriously though, if Burrow is the bar we might never draft a QB…

There is no way to know that. Joe and Kyler were predicted to go one, the others had red flags that made some drop. It just takes one team to like the prospect and take the risk. Bills took a risk with Allen that paid off, Bears with Mitch that did not. Lamar went late in the first to a pretty established team.

Yep the GOAT was graded not so well.. Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, and Jackson all had red flags.

OP isn’t saying we pay Sam to a huge deal. If Sam plays serviceable and our team is improving there us a chance he could get signed to an average contract. It would also put us out of range for Young/Stroud/and other top prospect. We could basically become what the Colts are. Is that good or bad? I’m not sure…

Yeah I read that rumor too, but he seemed eager to learn when we signed him. I haven’t written him off yet. He came in injured mid season. I think Horn will keep a fire lite under him and will see if he can put it all together this year or not.

Better late than never right? I agree 100% though.

Yeah either Sam makes a big leap with better OL (which I don’t see happening) or BC shines at LT, we hit on a FA OL, and acquire a QB through trade or draft that shows promise… (which I also don’t see happening). Not impossible, but it doesn’t look good at all…

His hiring of of staff this time around has been refreshing. It does appear (if it is him making these hires) he is learning from his mistakes. With that says he would need a really solid year to not be fired after year 3. Too many better coaches are only given 2 years. I just don’t see how he can upgrade this line AND get a better QB this year and that’s probably going to be what it takes…

We have too many needs to throw money at him. Let him walk with Gilmore and Jackson. We can look at OL, MLB, and FS in Free Agency while letting younger guys like Burns, YGM, Horn, and Henderson develop.

I mean no one is expecting us to draft a rookie QB and win the Super Bowl next year. The question is can we build a team around one of these QBs that can make us competitive enough to compete every year and have a shot at winning it all.

If Cross, Icky, or Neal are there at 6 it would be hard not to pick them. If not, I think it’s wide open for QB or trade down or who knows.

If one of the big 3 LT fall to us, I would think we would have to take one. If not trade down if possible, if we can’t then maybe we look at QBs.

Whoops. Nice catch (not Caldwell, you)!

Agreed. I would say the great leaders tend to get the most out of their teammates. Manning could make an decent WR play great and Brady won one with Caldwell as his best WR. You are right though, if no one is open and there is no time to through the ball, it doesn’t matter how good your QB is. This is a little bit of what I was saying with Willis and Howell. Howell has proven he can be great with weapons and when his OL gives him a little time (2020 season), and he didn’t play terrible when he had neither.

They had to make up for missing that Higgins facemask on Ramsey on his long TD.

Strong struggled at the Senior Bowl. That hurt his stock pretty bad.

I am ok with drafting Glass, but it would need to be 6th/7th round. Best case would be he signs here undrafted. Give him a year or two to develop and in an extremely rare case we could have a Romo/Warner/Delhomme undrafted QB become a starter. More likely he could be a project/backup for us. We just watch the undrafted QB for the Ravens step in and throw up some nice numbers. Glass would basically be our backup with a slim chance of starting one day. In the 6th/7th he would be pretty low risk (I mean otherwise Rhule may draft a LS again).
