Sam Howell? :thinking:

Don't get a hung up on the names. You can exchange players here if you prefer Wilson over Fields (as I know some do) or if you think there's a better 2021 prospect than Howell, but the basic premise of the question is this:

Would you prefer to get one of your second choices in the coming draft or would you be willing to wait a year to get someone who would be a top choice in the next?

I definitely agree.  This team is performing well above expectations and next year those one score losses will turn into one score wins.

If we get some O-line help we could do well and won't be in the top 10.

Granted, but if you've used this year's offseason to build a better roster, then maybe trading up is a more reasonable option.

I prefer to get a QB this year. We could be a fringe playoff team next year with Teddy and will not have as good of an opportunity to get a QB. I like Howell, but that's just not happening and I'd rather not trade up. Much better to get Lance or Wilson this year and let him develop behind Teddy for a year while we build up the OL as well.

I have a sense that the prospect of watching another year of Bridgewater may affect some people's answers.

He's almost certainly going to be the starter next year regardless of what happens in this draft, unless the impossible happens and we wind up with Lawrence. We have the luxury of starting Bridgewater for a year and we're paying him to be the starter next year anyways, and all of Fields/Wilson/Lance could use some time on the sideline to continue to develop before being thrown to the wolves, especially behind a shaky OL as it stands right now.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
