Drafting best lineman is always a good consideration, especially when the qb situation doesnt offer you that franchise player you need.Building a great line improves the whole offense. Thats not fireable or debatable.

All the best young QBs currently in the league had warts. Herbert played in a one read offense and wasn't trusted to throw in clutch situations.  Allen couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Mahomes played in a gimmick offense that inflates stats. Burrow was old and a one year wonder.

There's no such thing as knowing for sure how a prospect will turn out.

Its called iffy ..the lineman pick is pretty much guaranteed.A much higher pct chance of working out.pretty much guarantee no Allen, Burrow, or Mahomes in this draft.Now 2024 is another story if things continue the way they are going. Building the OLINE for the future is a better choice.

Linemen picks used to be pretty much guaranteed. Far from it these days. Plenty of 1st round OL busts. Hell, two of the more recently drafted top 10 IOL both were drafted in the same year and both busted. Johnathan Cooper and Chance Warmack. #7 and #10 overall. Busts.

2013 not really more recently...but Travis Frederick was also drafted that yr.

I actually pray that they do give Corral a chance. He was the best QB in the last draft. I know a few  teams had him as QB1 and it was more personality off field that helped him slip a bit. Now the injury obviously didn't help or a coaching change but i really want to see him sling it. Depending on coach and coordinator it may not be a good fit. If we fan an offense like the eagles this kid would be lights out.

Really hope we can develop him into a valuable backup.  Unlike Will Grier.

it’s crazy to see people really banking on the idea of him being the franchise guy though.

him developing into a solid backup isn’t a bad thing though.  Teams today have been having to use backups when it’s crucial.

Eagles win a Super Bowl because they had a solid backup and win you a handful of games when needed.

This year.

SF, Baltimore, Buffalo, Tennessee, Philly, Dallas, Dolphins, just to name a few.

Damn Washington is rolling with Howell next year. We could have had him with our 5th round pick… hindsight right?

He looked pretty decent in Camp and had a real nice last game.

but the big thing. Drafting 16th, they’re just not in position to draft one. 
here we have fans saying it’d cost to move up from 9.  Imagine what it’d cost from 16.

Next year unless they improve.  Rivera will be gone.  And a whole new regime change will want to kickstart with their QB.

    • They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they
