I think we took so long to get the pick in cuz we were contemplating trade downs but in the end they took the bird in the hand and I’m glad they did. I’d love a 2nd round pick to try to get a QB with, but we got the best OT in the draft, maybe best offensive player. You don’t pass that up

This line is now built for whatever comes next

Baker or Jimmy G can lead us to a wild card berth with this line

A first round rookie next year will have time to develop and not be ruined. 
 

This was smart. 

Or, y'know, let Darnold play behind an actual NFL OLine for once in his career.

Hopefully our answer at lt for years but Daniel Jeremiah has this quote...

Worst-case scenario, he slides inside and becomes a Pro Bowl-caliber guard

if getting a pro bowl guard is worst case, I can live with that.  Jeremiah had him #3 overall fwiw

I'm sure they were on the phone.  Most of the top 5 had their pick in pretty quickly.  In the end someone was trying to fleece us and Fitterer said "No Way"

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
