If we drafted Fields we would be using our draft to rebuild this OL while having a talented young QB to pair with an improved OL. We would just need a coach to be set. Seems like he is having a similar year as Lawrence, Wilson, any rookie not named Mac.

If Rhule is still our coach, I hope he isn’t allowed to give away any future draft capital. If he is here we will likely be picking in the top 10 next year. He already screwed this draft up with Darnold. We should be grabbing a top OL at 5/6 and then possibly a QB (Strong/Howell) in the second. Then more OL in the 3rd and so on…

It’s all about Rhule trying to “win now” with the “rebuild” excuse still in his pocket.

He seems like an ok backup on a solid team with an established QB. No where near worth $18.5 million or any meaningful draft capital…

Oh good Daley is back…,

Pickett seems to be a good decision maker. He does the things well that are hard to coach. This draft does have more OL talent it just depends on if we trade down and how we value these QBs. A good QB takes priority over a good OL in the draft for most teams. If we could trade down and snag a top OL and a Strong/Howell in the 2nd.

Ok so if Rhule gets fired you are all for QB then?

The future of our franchise??? Who are you drafting any player for? Should we just not draft anyone because Rhule might be a lame duck coach??

A case for QB https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/joe-burrow-1.html A case for OL https://amp.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article256880992.html This is why we go round in circles. Both are valid arguments.

Baker played great through college. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/joe-burrow-1.html There is Burrow with elite NFL WRs, a NFL OL, and a NFL RB.

A 4th/5th round guard is an immediate upgrade over our current guards. There is another thread going on how Miller, Scott, and Daley are looking worse this year than ever. If Rhule is still here whatever rookie OL we pick might struggle due to coaching. If we get a new coach our line Also if we draft OL and roll with Sam our team won’t look much different because he has struggled with time in the pocket…

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/cam-mellors-2022-nfl-mock-draft-broncos-trade-up-for-matt-corral/ This would be ideal assuming we gave a new coach. Gives us at shot at Howell or Strong at 42 plus a plug and play LT.

Ideally we wouldn’t have this line with this staff. But yeah Burrow got IRed behind his terrible line his rookie year, so I see your point.

It’s coaching. Miller, Scott, and Daley (at G) have looked decent in the past. Also looks like BC might be benched for Erving while MJ and Miller will be starting… https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/.amp/gm-report/carolina-panthers-release-depth-chart-vs-saints-12-29 The only think left interesting in this team was if BC can progress into a decent LT, but we might not even know this year…

If Rhule is making the call/still here, I want us to just draft a blue chip OL and move on. If it’s a new staff then I’d be interested to see what they do with the QB position.

His year was way better than any year Darnold had with less talent around him. When a player is breaking Watson’s ACC stats with Pitt talent around him I take notice. He has also broken several of Marino’s records from Pitt. This past offseason he went to Manning’s camp and got a lot of one on one time with him and has caught fire with what he learned. 42 TDs to 7 INTs in pretty impressive in itself. Burrow also only had one good year put in the work his final season and crushed it. He reminds me of a Burrow-Lite. Here is a mid season comparison of the two. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2022-nfl-draft-is-kenny-pickett-the-next-joe-burrow-examining-the-pittsburgh-qbs-dominant-2021-campaign/amp/ He has just become a smart player with more than enough athletic ability and arm strength.

Draft choice. The Saints won’t do poo in the playoffs… Plus I don’t want Rhule to show any signs of improvement at this point. Another 5 win season should tempt Tepper to fire him.

Even Darnold looked solid in college. It wouldn’t be close…

Yeah or a top LT/Pass Rusher. I mean worst case it we have no trade options and just take a stud OL.

Yeah as far as where we are picking, maybe Pickett is worth it? Trading down would match the value plus we could get an OL with the additional pick/picks. I just really want a new coach and then QB or OL would make me happy in the draft.

He doesn’t really want him back. He just wants to be “that guy” that goes against what everyone else is saying.

Consumers paying money for a product expect results as they should. The booing/cheering comes with sports. If the coach started benching Robbie for a younger WR because he kept dropping catches he would probably be pretty vocal about it on the sidelines especially before he got his extension.

lol sarcasm?

So our 3rd round rookie that got his second start at LT after being shuffled around all season allowed a sack and pressure against an elite pass rusher? He also held a couple times that didn’t get called. What a terrible LT. Might as well call him a bust! He allowed as many sacks as Moton against a good DL.
