Trai Turner .... lol...

I really hope they find a way to keep this core group of guys together...especially on    the o-line. They have the potential to grow into the best offensive line in the league. I don't say that lightly. I think if they can keep the guys they have now and add maybe one more young stud, that they can best the best in the NFL. Crazy how o-line has gone from a position of weakness to one of strength in a matter of a year. The work that Gettleman, the front office and the entire coaching staff has done cannot be overstated. Just a literal complete team effort from the top down has transformed this franchise into what it is today.

Trai is a fugin' beast... young as hell too.  Him and Norwell are one hell of an offensive line pull to get from one draft, granted Norwell was undrafted.

We need to work on finding a center in the next year or two to keep that interior strong for whenever Kalil is gone.  I'd much rather have a strong interior than two strong bookends on the offensive line.  Interior pressure is a QB's kryptonite.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
