I mean… if somehow it went - Neal, Icky, Cross, Willis, Aiden for whatever reason, what would you guys wanna do?

Trade down for a HUGE haul....easily 1-2 first round picks and maybe more for those top EDGE rushers....setup next year for the big splash

If Hutch, Walker/Willis, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Draft Thibodeaux

If Hutch, Thibodeaux, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Sauce

This is assuming you can’t trade back. Honestly, I don’t think most teams would be willing to offer what’s needed to trade up to 6 with those guys off the board

As long as we get top 6 talent I'll be OK.

That's about the size of it.

You're not going to be a legit team in the NFL by drafting inferior players at a needed position to the detriment of superior players at a not-so-needed position. If players are close, perhaps you have decisions to make; if players aren't close, it would behoove you to draft the obviously more talented guy and work things out.

I sadly think this team is dead set on QB for better or worse. Willis and Pickett are a toss up as to who goes first but I think they go first half of the 1st round. In addition to that will the Saints trade up to #5 to jump us or #7 to jump the Falcons? Will the Falcons or another team jump us to get a QB? What if Detroit or Houston decide they want a QB? My fear is we have lowered our standard to fit a major need to the point we’ll panic draft a QB just because management views it as a vital need.
 

It’s like going to the bar to find a wife. One night you see a perfect 10 but she gets snapped up before you can get to her or you see a 6 and pass her up because she has pointy elbows. 2022 feels like we walked into a bar on a Tuesday at 1am, stumbling drunk, and are going to propose to a 38 year old ex stripper from Lexington with a rose tattoo on her cankle that rolls all 300 lbs off the now thankful barstool.

Honestly, last year we were all saying QB or OT. And they went with DB, a good guy, but on offkey pick.

So, this year, we're all saying OT or that they probably will instead choose a QB...

so...

so...

so...

It could be anything. And then there will be a flurry of trading by our team that nets us a lot of "hey, look at what we dids" in the preseason and a bunch of mehs on the field during the real season, only to find out we've mortgaged the future again.

Remember, these are the guys who happily went to the podium with a pick of a LONG SNAPPER in the 6th round last year. And then they put him "injured" reserve to stash him away from being poached I guess...

Between Rhule and Fit, I'm getting tired of their antics.

If we draft Sauce after Horn, paying Jackson, and trading for Henderson I will be frustrated.  Sauce is a cool nickname though...  QB/LT are the biggest needs, Edge Rushers are always valuable also.  I rank the needs 1. QB, 2. LT (because BC showed some potential), 3. Edge Rusher.

I don't know that I'd consider them a unified front at this point.

Fitterer seems to want to build for the long term. Matt Rhule can't necessarily afford to do that.

      I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking.

      Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him.

      Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
