No team has All-Pros at every position.

We definitely need a starting safety. Coleman is a serviceable safety, he just can't be the best DB on the field. That's a recipe for disaster.

OLB? Why? Are we assuming TD retire? Maybe he does, but if he doesn't we definitely don't need another OLB. We play nickel the vast majority of the time anyway and a rookie LB is probably not getting ahead of Shaq on the depth chart. That would really have people howling about a wasted draft pick.

We definitely need a starting caliber DE. Preferably a guy who can be or can develop into an elite pass rusher. Try to sign CJ to another cheap short term deal and have him and Ealy platoon at LDE and sign or draft a hell raising RDE.

OT? Abso-fuging-lutely. Gotta get a LT. Unfortunately, I think Oher might be done. I'm alright with Williams at RT and Remmers as a backup if we can get a good LT in here.

We definitely need to start considering life without Kalil. He'll be 32 next year and his body seems to be wearing down. Hopefully he has another 2-3 good years left in him, but we shouldn't count on in. If there's a mid-late round developmental guy who we think could develop into his replacement, pull the trigger.

Yeah, we need a #2 TE. Dickson is fuging trash. This offense would be in a world of hurt if anything happened to Olsen.

Agree on RB too. Stew is wearing down and has always been injury prone. Last year was his swan song. It was great to see him come back and have a great year, but it was fool's gold. I think CAP can be a decent #2 and I like Fozzy as a 3rd down back, but we need a new bell cow.

I like Adams quite a bit at safety too, but not sure if I like him top 10 good.

If we're sitting on the clock in the 1st round (top 10 for damn sure, maybe top 5) and Garrett, Peppers, and Fournette are gone, I'd be all for trying to trade down.

Those are my three guys right now. Garrett, Peppers, Fournette. In that order.

With Kalil, Olsen, Stewart and Davis getting up there in age... We need...

SS, FS, OLB, 2x DE, OT (possibly 2), C, TE, RB... Buck up for the long haul guys. 

Kalil and Olsen have at least a couple more years for sure, and possibly more who knows. TD seems to as well but if not we've got Shaq. Stew will be replaced by Fournette next year. Boom baby. All set on those fronts. Do need a TE2 though.

Honestly, Fournette is the pick I'm expecting as well. I think Garrett and Peppers will likely be gone. My Tar Heel QB Trubisky will probably go #1. I'm just hoping some teams might fall in love with guys who I either don't want (Cam Robinson) or guys who don't fit our needs (Jonathan Allen, Marlon Humphrey, Malik McDowell, etc.) to push guys down the board.

Garrett, Peppers, Fournette, Trade Down

That's my 1st round draft board at the moment - assuming the same coaching staff/philosophy. Now if we're gonna go with a man cover scheme then Marlon Humphrey enters the equation, I just don't see spending a top 10 pick on a CB with our current defensive scheme.

All of these issues can be solved with the draft and FA, DG better not fug it up

Some people think you should start looking for replacement before you need them..I know huddle I t makes no sense...lol

Like New England you mean...actually planning to replace an older valuable veteran, draft their replacement, and then move the veteran while they still have value for more draft picks  and after the backup,has gotten experience 

what a concept.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
