Then when you do run into your 'Franchise' QB you're still looking for a LT. Weird take.

I'd be gutted with that.

i.e. we're not sure he can stick at LT.

I honestly think he's probably too broken at this point to fix, at least in terms of reaching his potential. Putting him behind THAT OLine last year was criminal, and a complete waste of resources - they traded for a reclamation project then threw him into the fire. I'd much rather strengthen the OLine for the next guy, whoever that may be, than roll the dice with a premium pick on a middling QB prospect this year.

Darnold had Brady and a terrible OLine.

You'd never get another NFL franchise.

How good is the OT we pick this year?

Mainly because he wasn't very good at his job.

I was frustrated with his 7 drops (that number seems v generous).

What if the QB we draft this year is poo?

Selecting a QB at #6 is more of the same. I personally don't think either of the Bridgewater or Darnold deals were bad - Bridgewater was clearly a toxic personality in the locker room and Darnold hasn't had a chance behind this OLine. That said, taking a middling-poor QB prospect is more of the same - throwing poo at the wall and seeing what sticks.

The thing that stands out with Cross to me is that he knows his assignment and is athletic / technical enough to complete it. Watch any of his cut-ups and see how readily (and smoothly) he passes off the inside rusher to pick up the stunt / late blitzer. It's beautiful stuff.

Zappe is the new Colt Brennan.

I liked him last year as a second round project, but he didn't make the jump you'd expect him to as a Senior. He struggles throwing to his left. Another kid that should have jumped to the NFL while the hype wasn't being analysed too closely.

Whoever delivers your eulogy has an incredibly easy job. "As anyone who knew stbugs will tell you, he never recovered from the Panthers passing over Trey Smith in the 2021 NFL Draft".

I'd be very interested in Strong. Of course we'd have to trade back into Day 2 to take him.

We survived the Watson clusterfug. We just need to stay the course and survive this Draft. Picking Pickett at #6 is just a terrible move.

And I wish we'd taken Mahomes when he was on the table, but you can't have everything.

I didn't like Lance at all - but he's got prototypical Franchise QB size (Willis is on the smaller side) and he put up a better season than Willis has during his one year as a starter.

You saw anyone we put behind C get obliterated last year and still you're making these posts that 'hog molly' picks are boring. I'd say I'm baffled, but this is the Huddle after all.

They'd all be second round picks if they came out last year in that Draft class. That's the long and short of it. It's a down year for QB prospects - I hope to god we don't panic and pick one in the first round.

Fingers crossed.

Helped fund a team being in Charlotte, and now profit from it on a yearly basis. There is no home field advantage at Bank of America Stadium because this fairweather, profiteering culture is encouraged.

Regardless, the PSL owners sold their tickets to the teams with large travelling support. Always have and, apparently, always will.
