Could we really pick something other than QB or o-line at 6?

If we'd known then how valuable Ryan Kalil would be to our success over his career here, vs. that of Jon Beason's, who was our first round pick, and played up to that level for us, I think we would have all chosen Kalil over Beason. If Linderbaum could be that kind of 10 year starter for us, I think it's worth more than a 50/50 shot at a freak defensive athlete, especially when we have freak defensive athletes, but can't move our offense.

Yeah,  I could see us going in another direction,,  maybe a 3rd Long Snapper..  can't have too many ya know..   (  having an extra person who can kick an extra point in a pinch is  extreme )  ..

But Offensive linemen ( more than one ) , and QB would be nice.  But I understand the long snapper angle too 🤣

There are personnel guys who subscribe to the philosophy of "If you like a player, just take him! Who gives a sh-t if someone thinks he should have gone fifteen spots later?"

I don't know whether Fitterer or Rhule believe in that notion.

I get that but to optimize draft resources that is not the way to go especially in our draft pick situation.

Evan Neal- OT

Ikem Ekwonu- OT

Charles Cross- OT

Aidan Hutchinson- DE

Tyler Linderbaum- C

Kyle Hamilton- FS/SS/LB

 

ideally we get one of those 3 awesome tackles, but any of these 6 players I would be totally fine drafting. If we could trade back and take Linderbaum I would love it, even at 6 I would be fine with the pick.

Three long snappers complements the twin punter formation quite nicely.  After a stuffed run, batted down pass, holding penalty, and sack it will keep the opposing punt return team on their toes.  Opponents would never know which of the long snappers would line up over the ball and which punter the one over the ball will snap it to.  It could be our most effective offensive play. 

Think of the versatility!

It’s really simple, there isn’t too high for anyone really as long as you make the right pick and get a STUD.

it’s all about getting it right

was D brown a reach? No. In hindsight tho, I’d go back and trade picking him for any average player in the entire draft 

need is another question tho…no cbs and no WRs

trading down is preferred

The future is NOW. Stop chasing free agent QBs. "Building" should have started by letting Marty move up a couple spots for Justin Herbert. Everybody would have agreed with moving on from Cam at that point even Cam but what they did was like WTF?

Marty was going try and leave the OROY as his parting gift. He was in Oregon at Herbert's pro day when others were locking down. He was over-Rhuled and they went defense instead, D.Brown.

Deepest QB draft in quite some time last season, over-Rhuled! CB!

Now here we are 10-23 later having NOT addressed the QB position, only wanton destruction and sht shows.

Now, rightfully, McAdoo, is here to install his NFL offense after the embarrassing Rhule offense was quickly and handily destroyed by NFL DCs almost to comical levels of pawning, didn't matter what QB or OC in Rhules system. He's lucky he still has a job.

On to the QB/Franchise problem. What would this franchise have been without Jake Delhomme and Cameron Newton? We know the journeyman and Pickles was hyped by Mel Kiper as best ever, again pundits are wrong. Pundits have Pickett and other tweeners and overachievers ahead of an obvious specimen at 6'4" with a bazooka and all the great stats including two consecutive years at 70% completion showing prowess beyond "system" what QBing is really about. Not running for 100 yards and throwing for 200, it's dropping dimes into the hands of running men and lasers into

STRONG 2022

If he's the best player on your board and you can't trade down for picks, you take him there. Don't worry though, we're taking Pickett. A rookie QB gets Rhule a mulligan for year 3. 

If the board falls off that hard after pick 5, we aren't going to be able to trade down very well.  Just pick the best guy IMO.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
