DT

DE

CB

RB/FB

OL

WR

I think we will look for our immediate Depth from post draft FA

But I expect to land a starter with our 2nd round pick

A WR in the draft would Surprise the hell out of me considering we have robinson and carter this season

I didnt list LB'r at all considering we have Connor comming back.

So Conner is kinda like having an extra pick this season...

If pep stays, he'll sign a long term deal. Keeping that in mind, if pep stays I think it goes like this:

DT

CB/S - A nickel corner is basically a starter in the NFL. If we get a safety we can try moving Wilson to CB. Of course, I would prefer a corner and prevent this shuffling from happening, I'm just saying they could be the same in effect.

OL - OL instead of a specific position because what we need is depth. Someone who can play guard, center and RT isn't as rare as one may think and someone like that will be good for us.

DE - We're only in a pickle if pep leaves. I'm pretty happy with pep and CJ as our starters with Taylor as a relief pass rusher.

QB - I actually think Jake has half the equation to being a franchise QB - the intangibles. However, I think a real franchise QB needs BOTH production and the intangibles, and a franchise QB is apparently what wins championships if you look at the past few years. To that end, I really don't think that Cutler would give us any more chance in winning a championship, because he's just the other side to the coin. Due to the importance of this position, I wouldn't mind grabbing a QB even in the second round if we think he's the guy.

But the draft will go like this:

BPA

BPA

BPA

:D

That's just what happens outside the first round. A reach for position here (and by reach I mean according to your evaluation of talent and not that bogus Mel Kiper stuff that somehow people think is more valid than the actual picks when his job is to predict what happens) would hurt a lot more than in the first round in that the fall in quality can be bigger.

So for all you guys who think we HAVE to grab a DL, though I agree it's a big need, i don't necessarily think it'll work out that way. We had 2 empty safety spots 2 the year we drafted Beason and we were SURE we would draft one in the first 3 rounds. We didn't grab one till the 7th. It's just not how things work.

      Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
