It almost makes it worse they didnt go after Jackson, even though I believe he will flame out hard.
The idea is more....is it smart to not put top priority on the top position. -
-
Would be hard to get mad at Chase Young really. But we will pick a QB unless we finish outside the top 3 and lack conviction on anyone but the top 1-2 guys to take that high.
If we somehow end up picking in the 5-8 rage, the OSU corner Okudah is a gamer too. Pair with X and just shut down passing games. -
I could very well be wrong, but I just have a gut feeling that we’re either going to make a play on Burrows...or we’re foregoing the QB in this draft, build a powerhouse running team then going for Lawrence in 2021

Yeah stay away from Cam Newton. I said right from his rookie year that he wouldn't be that good (I just have a bias against QB's that aren't accurate and/or make bad decisions because I don't think you can teach that, at least not most of the time). And sure enough the guy ended up as a below average passer with a career z-score of -0.133 (and that's including that one good year in 2015), though I agree if you add in his scrambling ability that would raise his overall value.. to maybe average? lol.
Stay away from Cam Newton! (unless he's a low paid backup that replaces Rosen lol) -

I would be thrilled if we drafted Love.

Cam frankly looked absolutely done. I think some people are underrating his peak, but good lord did the league just allow him to be wrecked. That guy has taken more big hits than I would want to be investing in at this point. He will need to sign a one year prove it deal, and it will probably be with a team like the Bears or Chargers (if Rivers moves). Just too many injury questions to really invest in the guy at this point.
-
What would be smart in my opinion is to parlay the high number of early draft picks into several more years of them. That can easily be done by trading back and picking up a team's pick from this year and from a future year.
Assemble a team that's comprised largely of (hopefully good) players on their cheap, rookie contracts, while possessing lots of salary cap flexibility to add veterans who fill very precise needs. -

I would be very surprised if Burrow(s) was their QB1 or 1b at this point, and indeed that's one of his biggest issues to overcome is the "Johnny come lately" flash in the pan thing. Coming into the year, it is hard to think the front office really paid much attention to Burrow at all, and while his year has been VERY impressive, they likely haven't made any huge board changes to the QB class at this point. They will want to see his whole year, talk to people, talk to him, etc.

We can trade up from 4th or 5th to number 1 if we want. Maybe we still get a top 2 pick who knows. I think we land either Tua or Burrow, otherwise we pick Chase Young and Jalen Hurts. -

Jury still out on whether Jackson can actually pass though. 10 of his 15 tds came against the Dolphins Cardinals and Bengals and a 1/3rd from that one game.

Are you guys talking about Joe Borrows in here?

Finally saw a draft that had us take two offensive linemen in the 1st and RB Swift. That'll do pig though I'd prefer a WR or DE.

All this QB talk has given me a headache. My head HURTS. I'd LOVE to BURROW an aspirin or TUA FROMM somebody.

Don Shula, Chuck Noll, Joe Gibbs, Bill Walsh, Dan Reeves and Bill Belichick. All of these coaches had a tried and proven system and they accumulated players who’s talents were suited to that system. They didn’t take an SUV and try to use it like a sports car. If they needed an SUV, they got an SUV...if they needed a sports car, they got a sports car. The point being is these head coaches were successful with how their system produced and kept their teams loaded with players that continued making that system work.
Now the question with Flores though does the team believe in HIS philosophy...HIS system, is it going to be a successful system and if so, will he get what he needs to be a success or will upper management force players on him that don’t serve his purpose?
