Official...DaQuan Bowers bandwagon!

??? Really what happen to Andrew Luck Bandwagon. I've see Bowers play some. He is impressive. But not worth wasting a number 1 overall on. We easly pick up a good pass rusher in FA. Our needs is more at WR and QB and DT right now. But Bowers can become a good pass rusher in the future. But not worth a number 1 unless we trade our number 1 and go down some for more draft picks.

Sidenote. You can get Bowers and have Johnson on the otherside and get a few stud DTs in FA and we got a solid linebacker core already and a good secondary. It wouldn't matter much unless you had a good QB who can move a offense down the field and score. Because sooner or later the D get tired and gets destroyed. Luck first choice and Bowers down the line. We ain't really in no big need for a stud DE right now.

I would struggle mightily to convince myself to support spending our first pick on anything but the offensive side of the ball. Our D, for what it was, could have been MUCH worse. I'm not sure the same can be said for our offense which, in order to be worse, would have to have played with mono while blindfolded all year.

Well even tho I'm not completely on board with the Luck idea yet. We need Luck more right now then Bowers. We have a decent D already. We can build our D in the FA market by find a 2 stud DTs and getting a good CB as a starter the otherside of Gamble. Our oline,WR core and our main problem is QB postion that needs addressing first thing.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
