This is an asinine statement.  Of course Rhule will play the best players.

You sure about that?  See how he absolutely refused to play Brady Christensen at LT all year when he was clearly the best we had?  Also, did you see how bad the whole OL was?

Or draft a QB that can run...............................................for his life.

Icky or Neal drop and I’m down. I’ve seen Cross all over the place on draft boards. If Icky and Neal are gone (and the probably will be), I think it’s wide open. Wide open means even a *gasp* QB! BC, Brown, Bozeman, Corbett, and Moton should be an improvement in the OL worst case scenario.

I think we can trade back a few spots and still land Cross.  If no QBs are gone, Seattle may jump.  I don't think any other team is LT desperate other than the Saints and I don't think we trade back that far (#16) in that's the case. 

Cross is an early-to-mid round prospect.  He'd be a great value if we trade back and got him in the early teens.  Picking up an extra pick in the 2nd or 3rd round wouldn't hurt either.

If we can trade down and get Cross, I’ll be happy! Cross at 6 seems a bit high to me…

Ikey better in the run game, still needs some work in pass pro. Cross kinda the opposite, technician in pass pro but not really a mauler in the run game. If we could trade back and get Cross and a 2nd round pick I'd be down. Running mock drafts there's a lot of good talent on day 2, we picked a bad year to trade away our 2nd's and 3rd's

Agreed his stock is a bit broader than Neal or Ekwonu, but #6 is about where it starts.  Slightly rich, but not a reach per se. He comes from a pass happy offense, so his run blocking skills need polishing.

I’ve said it before. A lot of the fan+media hype train has driven up Ekwonu when he’s actually quite sloppy. Penning and Cross may indeed be ahead of him on team boards. Doesn’t make him bad or anything. Ekwonu is a top talent, but the team scout reality is different than this top-6 assumption for him and Neal.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.

      I knew you'd be dismissive.
