So who do you want with our 3rd overall pick?

this team has way to many holes, bpa.

for the rest of the draft, i agree.

RT and OLB need to be addressed in the draft quicker than anything else, though, and i don't like picking up an LB in the first and i don't trust an OT that you don't/shouldn't pick up in the first. franchise OTs don't make it to FA and they are far too expensive to trade for and far too important to draft a guy later and develop as a project.

i don't think we have the luxury of time to develop a DT. I would rather pick up (an) experienced one(s) in FA. we have enough inexperience in the middle of that line.

a QB with time/protection, decent accuracy, and good decision making skills (which is what we have) should be able to do well with a mediocre or just better than average receiving corps (WR & TE) and i would say our receiving corps as is (esp. with the return of gettis) would fall into that latter category. look at the pats, saints, and packers as an example there. any WR we bring in, unless they are an elite talent (which i wouldn't pass up kalil for), should be a good and very experienced returner for him to warrant a roster spot along side smith, gettis, and lafell.

i don't see CB as being an immediate need. i like gamble, capt, and butler and have enough faith in logan to warrant holding off on CB unless we see an elite returner prospect available who is decent enough for a spot in the rotation at CB.

i'd be fine with us drafting a ballhawking safety in round 3 or 4, but i think that drafting an RT, OLB, and PR guy is more important.

Lol, trust me I am a huge Alshon fan, but lets be honest hes not a number 1 receiver at the pro level. I think he would be great in the number 3 spot, just for this conversation I dont think he is worth our top draft pick.

there arent many things worse than draft talk in November.

Eh.

As a football fan, the Draft is one of the most exciting days of the year for me. I love the Draft.

Does it suck that we're talking about the #2 pick? Yeah, it does. But, does it suck talking about the Draft? Never.

i agree we have to address the OT, OLB, CB, DT AND WR/PR. But since we have holes everywhere we need to go bpa with the positions we need them at. OLB and DT should be address through FA period.

i have no faith in captain what so ever in coverage. i seen in earlier games teams are picking on him staying away from CG of course, but when he is on an island teams are going for him and i cant blame them.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
