Nic Fairley has got to be our next choice.

Our defense isnt that far away from being an elite group and DT is a need for sure. He is a big nasty DT that we have lacked since Jenkins. If we get Fairley Charles Johnson will have 16 sacks next year. If our offense isnt going to be able to score maybe our defense can score enough to win games.

Thoughts?

He would be a good pick and is a beast no doubt. Somehow I still think you have to fix the offense and that starts at quarterback. Unless you beleive Clausen is the answer, we need a franchise quarterback through the draft or free agency.

If we get a quality starter at DT, we will have a genuinely fearsome front 7, pending Johnson re-signing.

Do we have a genuinely fearsome passing offense if we pick up a 2nd tier rookie QB?

It's a difficult decision, but I don't see any rookie QB who can come in and start from day 1. I also do not see a QB who is of a 'difference maker' standard. So essentially we won't get much out of a rookie pick this year, meaning we will need to pick up a vet in FA. So why don't we save the 'franchise QB pick' until next year?

Like most players now, it depends on FA. DT is a need, but I see QB as THE need. Which needs (across the board) can be addressed best by FA & which by the draft helps is the most?

Who is worth the risk?

Til we get the HC & staff in place its really hard to tell.

Having said that, at the moment (for me) I'm looking at, Newton & Green.

So do you take a lesser talent at the strongest position of need, or do you talent the best player in the draft at a position of need?

I am unsure at why we would settle for a lesser player, simply because our needs are slightly greater.

However I do not doubt QB is a strong possibility at #1, as JR was talking about getting a face for the franchise. One thing to point out though, is that JR wanted Pep to be that guy...

I think at this point there isnt a QB that can come in from college and make any more of a difference than Clausen. We need a veteran QB to come in and let some of our young Qbs learn. Let Jimmy be a back up and just get some more experience and then maybe he can be good. If we dont trade down then we have to take the best player in a position that we are in desperate need and thats the DT.

Luck would have been capable of starting and producing on day one. There just aren't any other quarterbacks like that in the draft really. Going the route of letting one of them ride the pine for a year or two and then handing them the keys wouldn't be a big deal if we had an established veteran to bridge the gap but that doesn't exist/is totally up in the air right now.

    • I don't think we need to argue over the existence of the drops. Look at the film. Instead of arguing about was this a drop or was that a drop we should be looking at the throws from Bryce and recognizing the fact that there are so many 50/50 balls and passes that receivers have to make physical adjustments to even attempt to haul in. You cannot just put everything on the receiver at all times. For the WR to have success the QB has to be able to more often than not put them in a position to succeed. And we also have to be able to acknowledge when the QB is putting the receiver in jeopardy and that did happen Sunday particularly with Renfrow. I mean even a guy like TMac with his catch radius has faced a challenge hauling in passes from Young. And we're pretty hyped about him. Legette and Sanders I will say have underwhelmed. That's something the head coach needs to sort out. But we still have a really good RB room and we have the highest paid OL for 2025 by a significant margin. Nobody here even necessarily expected Bryce and the team to win many games. They just expected to see competency and something really anything to build on going forward. What we did not want to see was multiple steps back again. And with the investments that have been made there's really no excuse.
    • I firmly believe that ship is sailed.  When he came out for his presser, I literally just watched it thinking how the guys in that locker room feel listening to this same poo every week.  Sure, there are other shitty players on this roster, and definitely some coaches, but when the one guy on the field whose play can make or break your day is consistently atrocious, where they’re doing poo like Dan shows in this breakdown…. Bro, we’re in year 3 and you don’t recognize they’re in zone and a defender is waiting to break on the pass you just stared down for 2 seconds?  And okay, that happens to every QB from time to time, but again, we’re in year 3, and you did it not once, but multiple times in one game.  Somebody else shared in a thread yesterday, I think it was, that the Jags didn’t even run anything exotic.  They didn’t blitz.  They didn’t try to confuse him.  They literally ran zone the majority of the game and rushed 4.  And the poo he did in this breakdown, especially that throw to Renfrow, looked, from memory, exactly like the picks he threw to Jessie Bates repeatedly.  So imagine that guy coming in the locker room and trying to say anything to you.  Even if it’s an apology.  I don’t want to hear it.  You are costing us a chance to win, and if you know you’re not capable of doing better, fall on your sword and take your ass to the bench.  That’s what a good teammate would do.  A shitty one keeps going out there selfishly doing the same dumb poo he’s been doing.  And Dan didn’t even show the scramble to stumble to fumble, which also seems like Bryce has done more times than I’ve ever seen one player do in my life already.  It’s just comedic at this point that anyone is still pretending he is anything but what he’s shown to be.  I really just wish he would bow out and give the players who are actually doing their job a fuging chance.
    • I think he has a chance and his mental makeup is a big part of why. I also think the Bears got a little complacent over the course of that game because the Vikings were completely inept on offense for most of it and once it started clicking for the Vikings the Bears couldn't get their head in the game and realize they had to wakeup and dial in again.
