Needed to win the last two weeks, must win, to get into playoffs, lost both. People on here and X are acting like byce got them into playoffs lol. Don’t get me wrong he was decent Saturday though.

Agreed, this looks like a great draft class to take a stab at a Moton successor

1. Sign an affordable speed WR2. Someone who can consistently stretch the field.

2. Sign a free agent pass catching tight end. How much would Kyle Pitts cost? A good TE is a quarterback’s best friend and it seems that the top teams have a reliable TE. Dave Canales needs to make TE an important position in the offense.

3. Draft an inside linebacker in round 1.

4. Sign a veteran pass rusher, possibly draft one as well.

5. Draft a safety.

6. Cut Dalton and sign a decent backup quarterback. Keep Bryce Young on his toes all offseason. Light a fire under him.

1) Marquise Brown (Shaheed might be a bit too expensive)

2) Probably isn't happening - can't afford to waste cap there. Just gotta roll with our TEs we have or draft one. Maybe Darren Waller if he has anything left.

3) Probably gonna be out of range for Reese and Styles, so no to drafting ILB round 1 if they are gone. Would be great if Woods, Faulk, or Terrell fell. Possible we take an OT also if they drop, especially if we move on from BC and with Moton on his last legs with us.

4) Not sure we have the money to get a high end pass rusher in free agency and would rather not burn more money on underachieving edges like Wonnum. Keep developing Scourton & Princely and draft an edge (ideally 1st round unless BPA other position is better)

5) Sure, but it would have to be a day 3 draft pick IMO (unless a really good one drops like Starks last year). Little out of FSU is somebody that fits Evero's scheme well (if he is back with us). I like what I see on tape out of Wheatley from Penn St, but I think he will shoot up draft boards after the combine.

6) Dalton needs to be cut the day after our last game of football this year... Not a great free agent crop of backup/fringe starter QBs that won't break the bank, but Mariota, Tyrod, or Zach Wilson are worth a look or start looking at day 3 trades for other team's backups (still would like Winston for a 6th rounder or similar value)

His dead cap is stupid.  Moton will be here for a couple more years.  It's not like his play has dropped off.  yes we need to draft a backup, but not necessarily round 1.

The '26 draft class is loaded with upperclassmen QBs.  I would definitely take a flyer after the second round.  This is where you throw a dart blindfolded at a dartboard and hope you miraculously hit the bullseye.  At best stumble upon a Brock Purdy, at worst you waste a day two or three draft pick.  Somewhere in the middle the team finds their Andy Dalton of the future.
