If it’s not a QB who do you want in the draft

[Troys99x4]

LT (Sewell / Slater)

or

Corner (Surtain / Farley)

If we don't get a QB, you absolutely take LT and get the line ready for the next guy. Good thing is, if there's a run on QBs and we miss out, there's a small chance Sewell falls to #8. If so, you rush to the podium no questions asked

Who's going to protect a first round franchise QB? You put a QB behind this line, odds are he's gonna be shelled into becoming David Carr 2.0. I'm not opposed to getting a QB in the first round, or even with the 8th pick. But we've got so many glaring needs, that I wouldn't be burning my jersies if we didn't.

 

Yeah, tanking worked so well for Doug Pederson. It's stupid. Unsportsmanlike. And if you want the team to lose so badly, you go out there and tell 50 juiced up, hyper-competitive 230lb+ alpha males to swallow their pride and intentionally play beneath their abilities so maybe the team can get a slightly higher draft pick. The players don't care. They want to win. For some, their play will determine if they got a job next year. For others, it's the last pro game they'll ever play. They ain't about to tank for poo.

I am smart enough to recognize the difference between tanking and intentionally trying to lose a game during the game. I sick and tired of these played out straw man arguments. While the effect may be similar, the mode is not. The former is COMMON and the latter is nearly if not precedented. I am glad Pederson lost his job. I also realize the importance of all positions. However, make no mistake - all positions are NOT equal. OL can be had in FA and drafted in later rounds or even signed as undrafted FA. 

Get a QB and if necessary let him sit for year and develop the talent around him.

Without a franchise QB, you are simply spinning your wheels toward another mediocre season or one in each everything falls into place and you make an early exit in the playoffs. That is simply not enough for me. BTW, I have heard the same from others. It takes some justification to renew PSLs and that justification is fading into oblivion.

Guess my post sound a little smug,  that weren't the intention at all.  I also like Sewell. Shame we lose out on his talent. 

Hope there are another promising OTs worthy the 8 pick. Want them to go o-line with a few picks this draft. 

[Soul Rebel]

Sewell (probably not happening)

Slater

Farley/Surtain II - different schemes and attributes, but both are CB1s in the NFL

Parsons - Favorite player and gives us Luke 2.0, but more of a luxury pick given other holes

DJ has the panthers picking him in his latest mock, has Slater above him. Such a tease, Im about 99.99999999999976% sure hes no where close to 8th.

Said it before - If Trey Lance is not sitting there at 8 (and I believe he will be) then trade #8 to GB for their 1st, 2nd and Jordan Love.  Many were projecting Love in the top 15 last year.  It probably did not hurt his development too much sitting behind Rogers for a year.  I think he could come here and start by mid-season. 

[Icege]

Micah Parsons
Kyle Pitts

[Ivan The Awesome]

I always get a kick out of the post that say "we won't get (insert player name) at 8." Its like all the players will be drafted by the time we pick. lol

[Beerfacedlegend]

Devonta smith 

[Shotgun]

Trey Lance and convert him to TE.

[Waldo]

Sewell is the only player I would want to see drafted at 8 if we can't get a QB right now. Trade back, get an extra 2nd and look to LT then CB in the first.
