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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
