QB Draft Poll

[adam]

It looks like one of these QBs may slip to #10.

I chose to go for Fields. Problem is, I think it will take #20, a 2nd or 3rd this year, and our first next year.

Lance has limited starting experience at FCS level. Reminds me of MT.

No to ANY trade up scenario for QB.  As I posted elsewhere, if Kellen Mond is still there in the 2nd round, take him.

I'm still hoping for no trade up and Trask in round 2

absolutely agree. we can NOT keep trading away draft picks.

i have always said and believe the qb is the most important player on the field but at some point you have to start drafting tackles to protect ANY qb. build the offensive line first then you can go after that high ranked qb. otherwise it's just the same ole same ole nonsense we have been doing since 1984. that way if you don't get a HOF qb as your first round pick and end up with just a good or better qb he can still win superbowls with a very good offensive line in front of him.

in 36 years we have drafted only 5 offensive tackles in the first round (four if you consider long as a guard)!! we have drafted ONE offensive tackle since jim covert higher than #20. those are ridiculous statistics and bear witness on how to fail as a franchise if you really work at it.

hire some evaluators and scouts whose only job is to find offensive linemen and put them to work.

forget going for the BPA and start drafting tackles. we already know drafting the BPA doesn't work with this franchise which means continuously going after position players or defense. even if we pick tackles who are not rated as high as our pick (within 5 or 6 slots difference) do it anyway. even if we just end up with GOOD + tackles it will be worth it.

pick OT's with our first two picks. it should take a couple of years to see if they will produce like we want them to. in the meantime draft project tackles the next two years in the 5th round on down to groom into starters or utility backups. if our first round picks don't pan out and any lower round tackles can't replace them because of quality then draft more in the top 3 rounds again until that position if solid.

THEN go all in on a QB in the draft.
