As much as I would love Howard as the answer.

It has to be LT.  We are talking Jonathan Ogden or Olando Pace or Jordan Gross type of LT.

During Jake's time we never talked about it.  Never!! When he went down we had Travell Wharton.  Those were the good ole days.

But it has to be a franchise LT.   If the surgery was successful and Kalil actually pans out.  We may have the answer on the roster.    So if Kalil is good to go. Revert back to adding a Tight End that can block and catch like Howard.

Garrett at DE. Would make our future there bright with him and Mario. Rest of the D looks really solid, could surpass our spectacular 2013 defense if we got Garrett or maybe even Thomas as well.

Travel back in time to the trade deadline in 2015 and give CLE the 1st and 4th round picks they wanted for Joe Thomas. Now he won't leave and they won't trade him. He had 3.5 years at 8.8M/yr. I pounded the table for it then and still can't believe no team went for it. Especially when we knew that 1st would be around 28 or later.

I'm always on board for a safety. Whenever Ed Reed v 2.0 comes available, we should trade all of the picks for him, Herchel Walker style.

Also, I'd really like a professional WR. Someone like Allen Robinson or Jeremy Maclin. Neither is a top 5 Wr, the fastest, or the biggest.  But both are polished receivers that have a mix of speed, size, ability to get separation and ability to run routes... and they can also catch the ball. None of our receivers can say that and I'm not sure the last time we had a player like that... Moose during his first stint and still him quitting on routes left a lot to be desired.

Either of these things in 2015 could have made a difference. Along with a better RT or an OC that can make adjustments when he sees the same thing beating our offense over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Malik Hooker has drawn comparisons to Reed, and yet I haven't heard anything to indicate he is on our radar...ugh

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
