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

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. 

Positional value matters. A lot. There's a reason very, very few IOL are taken in the top 10. I can't ever recall a center drafted in the top 10.

In the top 10 you're looking for impact players at high value positions. IOL doesn't qualify IMO. The two relatively recent top 10 IOL picks were also ironically both busts.

I don't disagree with you there, it's just who do you take and who do you trust Rhule and company to take? None of the QBs are worth pick 6. Linderbaum feels like the safest pick unfortunately and I don't want to hamstring the next coach if we somehow manage to get rid of Rhule.

Oh, we're gonna hamstring the fug out of him. I fully expect future draft assets to get traded away and our salary cap getting shot all to hell. Rhule has already proven to be in over his head at the NFL level and now he's desperate. That's scary.

That's what I'm really afraid of. If/when we ever do get rid of Rhule, how in the world are we ever going to entice a promising HC candidate with no draft picks, cap, or assets.

Bingo. Hence why I've been saying that as bad as it looks currently, with Rhule still here and still weilding full control it's bound to get uglier.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
