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?

      Yeah, The Ravens' offense was stalling out while the Lions' offense was humming. The Henry fumble sealed their fate but I didn't like their chances regardless.  But either way, Derrick Henry 4th quarter fumbles have cost them one game and cost them and an opportunity in another. That Bills game was over until his fumble gave them new life and his fumble last night made their chances go from "not good but maybe" to "we need a miracle".

      I don't think we have been good yet. We were generally effective yesterday when we got scoring opportunities but struggled to move the ball under a heavy blitz and new receivers who he is still trying to develop better chemistry with and a makeshift line. And last week the comeback was impressive until it fizzled out. But week one we were bad and we have way too many penalties and picks and the occasional WTF play. We were better yesterday and the offense had no turnovers although special teams did. We are a work in progress as any panther fan would expect. I think we have the most rookies on our roster compared to any other team. No one thinks we are all that amazing or thar Bryce is the answer for sure. But we aren't the worse either and this constant negative narrative really is ridiculous and drowns out everyone else. I doubt I will be here much especially if we lose. The conversation is so negative and constant I don't even check in until Wednesday. But I will be here like always since 2004. Just not engaging in conversations with folks who just want to bitch and complain over and over with anything they can find as if that makes things better or they are saying something we all don't feel at times. Most of us realize this is year 2 of a rebuild and there are ups and downs. You have to be comfortable on the roller coaster. But anytime you point out the good you get inundated with negative crap as if we didn't see it too......
