If we drafted Pickett at 7 then IMO this line will be as bad or worse next year.  If we keep getting some other teams scraps for the line then we will just be spinning our wheels.

A 4th/5th round guard is an immediate upgrade over our current guards. There is another thread going on how Miller, Scott, and Daley are looking worse this year than ever. If Rhule is still here whatever rookie OL we pick might struggle due to coaching. If we get a new coach our line Also if we draft OL and roll with Sam our team won’t look much different because he has struggled with time in the pocket…

His year was way better than any year Darnold had with less talent around him. When a player is breaking Watson’s ACC stats with Pitt talent around him I take notice. He has also broken several of Marino’s records from Pitt. This past offseason he went to Manning’s camp and got a lot of one on one time with him and has caught fire with what he learned. 42 TDs to 7 INTs in pretty impressive in itself. Burrow also only had one good year put in the work his final season and crushed it. He reminds me of a Burrow-Lite. Here is a mid season comparison of the two.

He has just become a smart player with more than enough athletic ability and arm strength. 

It took him 4 years to do that .. What are his stats over his career beyond that 1 season?? We both no the answer is horrible or non existent..

It's like signing a guy who blows up his contract year but was bad most of his career.. You can fall in that 1 year wonder hype if you want.. That is exactly how you get stuck with Baker Mayfield..

Baker played great through college.

There is Burrow with elite NFL WRs, a NFL OL, and a NFL RB.

If he doesn't fall to us (which he should), we should drop a few slots (to about 10th or 11th), pick up a 2nd round pick and either take:

Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa (6-3, 290 pounds)

Or even drop a little lower (around 12th-13th) and grab Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State (6-5, 310 pounds) but not if they think we'll miss the chance.

...

I don't see them signing DJax and getting the 3rd or 4th round comp pick from him. I hope they keep Luvu, Reddick and Gilmore, even Haynes.

All of this pls

The future of our franchise??? Who are you drafting any player for? Should we just not draft anyone because Rhule might be a lame duck coach??

So you will either force the next coach to work with a QB he might not have chosen.. Because reality is new coaches want their pick at QB not the pervious regime.. Or cut the coaching search to only Coaches that want to work with that QB.. And let's not be foolish and act like The QB position is the same as others.. New coaches come in all the time and work with other position already on the team.. But most coaches who get a new job want their choice of QB... Your doing the Josh Rosen, Clausen, thing all over again.. Instead of letting this staff deal with the mess they have made and not forcing the future choices on the next staff.

This is why we go round in circles. Both are valid arguments. 

Yeah but with the talent in this draft---the OL theory is probably the best. Pickett is IMO by far the best prepared NFL ready QB in this draft,...after him there is a lot of development guys and Pickett himself would benefit from sitting rather than being thrown into the fire right away. He's the most NFL ready I think but that doesn't mean he's actually ready.

Ok so if Rhule gets fired you are all for QB then?

One of the reasons I want Rhule to go. Frankly I would be surprised if Rhule doesn’t take a rookie QB if he sticks around. But either way I don’t think there is a franchise QB this draft.

Pickett seems to be a good decision maker. He does the things well that are hard to coach. This draft does have more OL talent it just depends on if we trade down and how we value these QBs. A good QB takes priority over a good OL in the draft for most teams. If we could trade down and snag a top OL and a Strong/Howell in the 2nd.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
