Both. You can't fill all the spots in the draft and don't re-sign any of the hot garbage from our OL last season.

I agree, day 3 QBs hardly ever work out as franchise guys. Backups? Sure, but we have a much more glaring hole at QB1. The facts are HBCU players didn't get offers from any/many FBS schools coming out of high school. Sure some choose to go to smaller schools for their educational preferences. However, if these players really want to pursue football in the NFL, they take the FBS route if the opportunity presents itself.

Season 1 under Matt Rhule Season 2 under Rhule Season 3?

CMC preferring to hang out with the Panthers that were winners than his current teammates. I'm sure he uttered something at that dinner along the lines of, 'man, I wish I could have played along side of you guys!'

And yet we are heading into year 3 of a rebuild whereby we should be competing for the divisional crown, but here we are still floundering in the NFCS cellar.

At #6--all OTs Ekwonu Cross Neal Only after trading down C Linderbaum ILB Dean DE Johnson

It's nearly a 9:1 ratio on the poll. The 10% is either desperate for a QB or trolling. I doubt 10% of Huddlers think Pickett is ACTUALLY a franchise QB.

Rhule is dong this to buy him a fourth year. 'Mr. Tepper, you wanted us to get a young QB, but it's impossible to win with a rookie QB. I'll need another year to develop him'.

I'd have to brush up on my German. Ahem...Einen bier bitte shoenen fraulein. Grossen beir, nicht kleinen beir. Sehr Danke! Anyway, I know I butchered the spelling....

Rhule can only find old guys to come here because nobody that wants to further career will come here. The old guys could care less, 2 of the 3--possibly all 3 will probably just retire once Rhule's staff is let go. They took this job to pad their retirement funds. Campen may still coach, but Paul P. and Snow will likely trade in their play books for rocking chairs.

Everyone remembers late Jake---noodle arm. Unfortunately last impressions usually stick. Before he blew out his elbow and Tommy Jone forever changed Jake's arm strength, Jake actually had a cannon. Not Josh Allen strong, but well above average. That pass in the SB clip traveled 53 yards in the air AND he led Muhammed...he didn't have to break stride. I still remember watching Jake during his first TC. On my annual pilgrimage to Wofford, this particular day it started raining in the morning and they moved practice to the gym. Fans were allowed to watch form the second floor balcony. Jake's throws were popping. Some friends and I were like that Saint's backup has some mustard on his throws! You could literally hear the slapping of the ball when it hit the WRs hands. His velocity looked twice that of Rodney Peete's throws. So no, Jake didn't always have a noodle arm.

They left to take other jobs, not fired. Heck, credit to them for getting out now instead of getting fired in 12 months or so when Rhule and staff all get shown the door. Smart moves. Rhule even tried to get Pep Hamilton who chose to stay with Houston's dumpster fire rather than come here.

Yeah, only billionaires were in the running for the Panthers. Heck, when it was speculated John Elway or Peyton Manning were interested, they were forming ownership groups because not even those guys have enough money to buy the Broncos outright.

There's some draft experts that speculate that Rhule may take a defensive player to further strengthen that side of the ball. It would make sense if our offense was average and not HORRIBLE. I can't see that happening unless all 3 OTs are gone and we are unable to trade back out of #6. THEN and only then do I think we take the top CB or Hamilton.

I read that Pederson really wants to help Trevor by providing pieces on the offense . No WR is worth taking #1, especially this draft, so the only other place is OL. Ekwonu is nipping at Neal's heals. If Icky tests better and looks better than Neal in individual drills, he may go #1. Good for him. Honestly I'd rather him get taken #1 than get my hopes up and the Giants snag him at #5.

Who also is now a NFL head coach. SF gets minority compensation as well. This is apparently really irking some folks here I see. Biracial people have to choose one side or the other to be accepted and in the eyes of some here as it seems, it's really not a choice if it were left up to them.

That's about every draft...good, average or bad.

Why because he doesn't go over the top on his Black side of the family? Before Colin Keapernick grew out his hair (afro) and kept it buzzed short, you would have thought he was Spanish or Italian. Yes, McDaniel looks more like Caucasian side of the family than the Black side, does that upset you?

Even with video surveillance--Saints fans and SJWs: 'Dude had it coming, probably a racist Trump supporter, he didn't die, so 9 hours of community service with an hour lunch break...oh, and and hour rec time--is proper justice.'

SF is kicking a dude to the curb that nearly got them to the Super Bowl and gave up TWO 1st round picks (and a 3rd) to acquire Trey Lance. Who is kicking their starter to the curb or giving up a couple of first rounders up for Howell? FYI, Lance was my draft crush last year. I was bummed when he was taken. I doubt we would have drafted him anyway even if he were still available. Ya know, Matt Rhule and all...

I mean, if were possible to 'Frankenstein's monster' several of these guys...you might get one legit franchise QB. Pickett's knowledge, Corral's downfield accuracy, Willis' athleticism, Strong's arm, Howell's moxie, Glass's size etc...

Eh, I like the Christian Watson pick. The rest was meh.

Yup, looking like the dude in our avatars will be a Jet or a Giant. Heck depending on his Combine and Pro Day, some speculate he may even be a Jaguar. He's really not that far behind Neal at all and some think he has a better upside than Neal.

I'm all for it, but would the Steelers be dumb/desperate enough to do this? Secondly, we pass up Pickett only over Matt Rhule's cold, dead, body. Rhule can't pass up a dude he once recruited! His ego won't allow it.

So Pickett averaged roughly a fumble every other game. Who cares that his team was able to recover over half of them. The point is how often he put the ball on the ground! Now take into account our OL situation and the LT we are passing up to draft Mr. dwarf-hands. Pitts OL was decent too, no? Does this really seem like a good idea????
