Upcoming Dilemna

Best OL available. 

This is a very weak QB draft. None of them are top 10 caliber guys.

If we Take an LT we need a QB other than Cam, because Cam just ain't it anymore. 

Cam is fine as a placeholder. I’d still bring in another vet to get that qb room solid and in case of injury. We need to draft the qb of the future for sure. But cam brings some stability and leadership that we need moving forward at that position.  We desperately need nfl coaching. That is the biggest need of the off-season.

I would go LT. Our O-line is utter dog poo. Adding one more decent blocker at such an important position could begin to change the mood of our whole offense. Also trying to find something decent to replace so of the other turnstiles we have blocking with even mediocre lineman could make a huge difference.

Depends on the HC.  
 

If Rhule is still here he should be forced by GM/owner to draft OL

new HC? I would be fine with a QB being on play.  If there isn’t one worth the pick then OL

[LinvilleGorge]

If we think there's a potential franchise QB available, take him. Period. If you need a QB, that's your biggest need always. 

If not, then my preference would be the best OL available. If we don't think there's an OL available worth the pick, TRADE DOWN. Not having a 2nd and 3rd round pick this year HURTS. 

Honestly, if there's no one on the board who we think is a potential franchise QB or a potential franchise LT, I'm heavily entertaining any and all trade offers.

My biggest wish though is that Rhule and company are gone. If they aren't, all of this is moot. They'll continue to set this franchise back until fired.

Cam is still trucking dudes, GIVING blows. Yeah, looks the same to me. Better than when he left here actually. A bit smarter too. Ill take that and draft OL.

The problem with this is that Rhule and Co haven't proven they know what a franchise QB or LT look like, so they'll look to trade back anyway.

The answer is to trade down to re-acquire a day 2 pick (or two), draft Tyler Linderbaum, and then wait for the season to start so that we can rage that it wasn't a QB or LT.

[Waldo]

Too early. Take either, whichever is better. We need both so it's easy and completely on the evaluation...which is what I fear from this group. 

If we keep Rhule, just play Sam into another top 10 pick. Trade back and get an OG or 2 and a C. If we get a new HC and keep the GM, it will be a QB (that guy doesn't know jack about olinemen). If we clean this stain away completely then anything could happen.

Definitely possible but we hear that most years. It's still very early. I guess it's just a matter of perspective. We've been kicking the can down the road on both left tackle and quarterback for years now. Should have made our move for one the last two years. It is insanity that we haven't. But there are no guarantees about who will be there available to us in 2023 either.

If Rhule and company are still here then none of this matters. We're fuged as long as they're here.
