He IS old. He turned 34 early this season. Still a good player, could probably still be elite, but he's just not a #1 target anymore. He's in the Thielen situation. Still good, but no longer up to the role his offense needs him to play because other guys just haven't stepped up. It ain't their fault. Father Time is undefeated.

Tom Brady is just about the only one to defy him but even he finally hung it up (before putting up a total crap show season)

It could happen if he goes to a stacked D where he could play less snaps and focus more on simply rushing the passer. We need him to be an every down jack of all trades and he just ain't it. He's a one trick pony but in the right situation it'd be a helluva trick.

Agreed that was kind of my thoughts on it.

QB is not comparable to playing an actual position in the NFL.

Yeah, injuries not withstanding QBs can play longer than pretty much other position outside of kicker, punter, and long snapper. Elite QBs are practically expected to play at a high level well I to their late 30s now. You definitely don't expect that out of any other positions outside of the aforementioned specialists.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
