The Pick Should Be Charles Cross or Evan Neal, Period!!!

[Matthias]

Man I hate the situation we're in with this franchise.  We're so desperate talking about being okay with drafting these cats at QB with our 6th and only pick until day 3 of the draft!  Forget these scrubs playa!!!  The work Fitterer and Morgan have done on this O-line during free agency has been nothing short of a miracle.  You cap that -ish off with drafting a perennial probowl LT for the next decade.  Don't give me small hands Kenny Pickett, or Mike Vick wannabe Malik Willis.  Yeah I said it!!!!!  Shoot man!  There's some other players out there that I wish we were in a more luxurious position to be able to pick up.  Players like Jordan Davis, who would put our D-line in overdrive.  If Aidan Hutchinson slipped, would've been a nice grab. (Although I'm really rooting for Gross-Matos to step up)  All those players are poised for multiple probowls, a couple perhaps hall of fame worthy.  Yet we are sitting here talking about dudes the likes of MATT CORRALL????  F-OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all honesty, the best QB of this draft might be Carson Strong.  The problem with him however is his knee being jacked up, which of course is a big flippin' problem.  I'm over this QB discussion.  We screwed up as a franchise by letting Cam go the first time, over paying for Teddy Bridgwater.  Then we screwed up worse by trading for Sam Darnold, even picking up the fifth year option with his rookie deal.  We almost traded everything away for Watson, which may have been worth it in football terms, but alas we didn't get him. (I didn't want to trade that much away for him)  Ultimately, it just seem we are about to make mistake number one million by picking up another dud QB because of our desperation.  No, pick up the sure thing in Cross or Neal.  Make this O-line the best in the league, giving our next head coach and true franchise QB plenty to work with going forward.

Let other teams reach across the universe for Pickett, Willis, and the rest.  If Carson Strong falls to the 4th, pick him up.  There's another QB who will fall to the late rounds (wouldn't be surprised if undrafted) I kind of like in Cole Kelley.  The problem with him is he has a major red flag with a DWI arrest in 2018.  He's been clean since, but I wouldn't be surprised if that could become a problem later on if he drinks again.  That's my two cents in the pot.  Oh man it's going to be hard come draft night, dreading the decision this front office will make.  Yet if the name that comes across the board is either Charles Cross or Evan Neal, Oh Happy Day!!!

How you gonna spell out period but really end with exclamation marks?

Charles Cross 4 life. 
 

but also you didn’t mention Gardner Minshew at all. Which is fine, no big deal. Or if you did and I missed it, just for future reference, throw some all caps on it. No biggie.

If he was a free agent, I wouldn't mind bringing him in for a year.  I wouldn't trade anything for him.  Ultimately what we need for this year is a place holder.

Nice rant and you make some great points.  The only way I would be happy with a QB is if we trade down.  We desperately need more draft capital.

Good QB's win you more games than good LT's. You win 5-7 games next year, your not sniffing an elite prospect. Shoot your shot while you can, give me the QB all day.

I agree with OT being the pick at 6. Another crap year from Darnold then either go free agent route or risk the qb draft next year. Supposed to be better class next year. Prob will be another high pick cause we all know CMC gonna miss tons of time and Darnold is Darnold. I wouldn't be opposed to trading down to 9 or 10, getting best available OT or DL plus some picks. I'm also down with taking Walker like Kiper said if we get a vet OT. If we trade beyond 10 go for Iowa center. But stay as far away from this year's qbs as possible. But I got a bad feeling we are all gonna hate that first pick

Wow sounds like you’ve really put the research into understanding this issue

[Khyber53]

You build the right offensive line, pick the best left tackle available, then any QB will have a shot here. 

If you go QB in the first and work with the improvements we've nabbed, it's not going to work. 

It's just as simple as that.

Grab the right OT and boom even Sam Darnold can win games. Gardner Minshew? Sure. Baker Mayfield? Definitely. 

Go back into the fray with the left side of the line still in flux and Aaron Rodgers couldn't get you out of trouble.

It all begins and ends with the offensive line.

Why do people keep saying things like this when we all watched him play?

[GoobyPls]

Nope, draft a QB. It’s the logical move, stop spending money on recycled QBs
