We need to trade up to four for a legitimate tackle. Lions don't need one. Jags will just take another qb

Nah, we should b able get LT #2 or #3 unless a team trades ahead of us.  Some stud DEs in this draft and that will eat up a couple of picks ahead of us.

Get a LT like Charles Cross in the 1st. Plays in a passing offense and gave up 1 sack and 6 pressures in 500 plus passing attempts.
 
Trade into the second and get the Nevada QB, Strong.
 
Use everything else for OL 

Several of the mocks that I've seen have Cross as the best offensive lineman available at the spot where we're likely to be picking.

Take the center from Iowa…the interior of our OL is the first place to start 

And yes we need a QB, too bad we don’t have a second rounder

id Trade down if we can get a 1st and 2nd

I am 100% in on that dude but we actually will probably be picking ahead of his range. If we fug up and accidentally win another game, he is the guy.

trade back 

This is the only logical option, we don't have a 2nd or 3rd, we need to trade back and acquire multiple picks. Spend money on a PROVEN tackle if available, and use the picks to supplement the interior OL where there's usually more options, unless a Tackle falls to our new pick via trade back. 

Since this is logical, we'll likely draft a LB'er.

Sigh.

 

Its not logical if you try and force it and not get value.  For us to trade back someone has to fall in love with a qb and then blow us away with an offer.  I just dont see it this draft.  Its top heavy with lineman and motherfuger we have to capitalize on it

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
