Best case scenario right now?? Draft addition..

I love Tua's talent but you are replacing one oft injured QB, with a veteran QB who had injury concerns coming into the NFL and had a very serious injury and then drafting a young QB with injury concerns that is coming off a very serious injury. 

That just seems like gambling just to gamble. 

I’m not terribly worried about Tua now to be honest. If the hip checks out well and he can move well I think he’ll be very very good. The minor injuries in college don’t concern me. I prefer we just tank for Trevor but that may be unlikely at this point. I also like Love in this draft but 7 is too early, maybe trade back into first for him and then sit him a year or two behind Teddy?

Cam, I think his throwing shoulder was/is just completely shot. Nothing you can do about it now.

Teddy, the injury was bad but that wasn’t his only injury, I’m not concerned about him. I don’t think he’s any worse than he was with the Vikings before the injury. I never thought he was all that great but he is a great leader and veteran locker room guy so perfect choice to play the Alex Smith to a young QB we draft’s Mahomes.

With Hurney picking I would bet Simmons if he is there. Unless Hurney doesn't get full say

Two high ankle sprains aren't really minor injuries. He had surgery to come back early but we know that is typically a long recovery. He is not a particularly big guy and anytime you get a guy that is injury prone(and he has been) at the college level, that risk isn't going to lessen when they come to the NFL. I think even with that hip checking out 100%, the injury risk has to be a factor in the evaluation. 

I kind of lean QB too but we are really in the Herbert/Love range rather than the Tua range. It's gonna be interesting to see what we do. Hurney seems to have turned over a new leaf this offseason, so I assume his first round draft picks(normally solid) will probably be a disaster. But maybe he crushes 2nd through 7th?

They are clearly not doing this.. Again I might be wrong but signing Bridgwater and his contract and doing nothing with DT or Cb clearly points to addressing it in the draft and looking at QB next year.. Getting a QB this year to sit on the bench while having to scramble and find starters and depth at DT LB and Cb is stupid...

And you have seen what evidence to suggest we might not do something stupid????

Good point.. 

But why discuss anything if we aren't using logic at some point??

Everything now is opinion based.. And IMO taking a QB after pretty much signing Bridgwater to a (1 year prove something or we're probably getting a QB next year deal) is evidence of some sorts plan..

If we go Brown or Kinlaw, we get more work done on a DL that is getting completely rebooted.

If we go Simmons, we have our new LB duo that never leaves the field.

If we go Okudah, we get a CB to lockdown the WR1-rich NFC South.

All of this means, of course, that we're gonna go QB or RB at #7 

[cardiackat88.]

Following the free agency trend, we will trade down for lots of 3rd round or later picks.

Pick up tons of low risk/high reward guys.

Sign these guys to longest rookie deals that have little or no signing bonus.

Cut the guys that do not work out. If there are diamonds in this rough, the humble and reasonable ones stay with good contracts. If not, trade them for all they are worth.

Rinse, repeat.

[Double Trouble]

Wirfs this year and Lawrence the next is ideally what I want.  But we are so bad, BPA is logical.  Don't particularly care what position we go with, we just need talent at this point.
