Why take an immediate need when we aren't in immediate contention for anything next year? We aren't one need away from winning it all. I think taking the BPA helps the team in the long term. We're looking at a 2-3 year rebuilding process if we're truly stuck with Clausen. We'll need a QB next year, and that player will need at least a sophomore season to really contend for us.

Ok, how does BPA help the team in the long term?

gives you flexibility in rotation and trading. see: ryan kalil and dan connor. the former allowed us to get rid of justin hartwig at no expense and the latter saved our asses when thomas davis got injured.

Because we fill needs later in the draft and through FA, but with a pick like #1 OVR, you're better off taking the BPA. Especially someone like AJ Green, when you consider Steve Smith and where he might or might not be in the next few years. Bowers has bad tape and Fairley gives cheap shots on the field. Both of them just kind of randomly popped up, and who knows how great they are (Bowers definitely not comparable to Peppers coming out of the league, Fairley not comparable to Suh or even McCoy).

Green's supposed to be "the next Calvin Johnson." Why would that NOT help us out in the next few years? Look what it's done for Detroit.

I see.

Eta: So do we trade the BPA if he isn't needed & hope the trade will be for a need?

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
