If you were GM, how would you use our that first pick in round 2?

If the right QB is there, definitely QB.  The TE class is weak.  Interior OL can be had later.

Tepper isn't likely to throw in the towel on Bryce after year one and would probably veto that but  I definitely understand your reasoning.

You mentioned that the TE class was weak. Do you have any insight into the LT and WR classes?

I wouldn't be opposed to taking a 2nd round center if had the potential to turn into Ryan Kalil or Creed Humphry for the rest of the decade. Sure up the center position with a STUD, Put Brady at LT (his natural position), move Ekwonu inside and our O-line would improve immediately.

I'm beginning my draft digging currently, I usually wait for the college regular season to wrap, which just happened.  One thing is crystal clear about TEs, after Bowers, the drop off in talent is like a steep cliff.   Yes, Bowers is elite, but even if he weren't maybe three or four TEs get drafted before day 3.  Possibly one guy in round two and a couple in the third.

It's likely the line will be a lot better next year with Christensen at LT and Icky at LG (which is how I see it playing out). I don't see them taking OL in the 2nd or 3rd and they will most likely use free agency for some depth guys on the line. I think the first pick will be a TE or WR, dependant on if Bowers is there. That's how I'd go as well.

WR and OT class is deep. We could get a first-round talent at WR in mid/late round 2. 

If our goal is to protect Bryce and build our IOL so he can perform better like was done for Brees, kicking Icky inside is a no-brainer. I'd like to see BC with some experience under his belt and a stud LG like Icky beside him. 

We could find a very good OT in R3 this year too. 

All depends on HC/GM and the direction they want to go in. If it is someone like Harbaugh, our current OL (with Icky at G) is made for his style of offense. 

 

Extremely deep and talented qb class. They'll be an extremely talented and intriguing pick at the top of the 2nd rd. Being a gamecock fan I watched Rattler all year throw darts in the SEC behind a horrible Oline. He also had limited weapons but his arm an accuracy was on absolute point. He will definitely be there in the top of 2nd and a much less chance in the 3rd.

Penix is a lefty, so Ickey would be on his front side an Moton on his blindside.  Without shuffling the cards, this could be a quick fix if only we can solidify the guard positions.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
