Doesn't sound like QB in cards at 6

they aren’t going to telegraph who they’re taking after disadvantaging themselves on the literal first day of the offseason last year by telling anyone they could corner that they wanted to move on from bridgewater in very public circles 

anyone who thinks an evaluation has been made on these QBs in January is kidding themselves 

These guys have been scouted for years. Anyone who believes otherwise is kidding themselves. We aren't talking about a small school safety or guard here.

It will be interesting to see who they focus on at the SR. Bowl.  I would not be surprised to see Rhule fall in love with a QB there.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe there's any way they don't go O-line. Unless we make some trades and get creative with the cap, I don't believe that they can address all the needs across the O-line in free agency. Call it wishful thinking, I think we're going O-line. They've marked it as our number one priority and area ripe for serious investment.

Yea since it is our number one priority look for them to fill the OL up in FA with some bums. That way we can select the best defensive player at 6.

If you think they’ve made a final determination on who and what they’re drafting or not drafting before the season ends then I really don’t know what to tell you, maybe the panthers Reddit is more your speed?

Good. This team has needed a solid peace at OL since 2014. It’s time to draft one early.

Surely we aren't making the same mistakes twice. They aren't that thickheaded...I hope.

[LinvilleGorge]

We take an OL in the 1st then trade next year's 1st to take some QB in the 2nd "hoping to get lucky" because fug it we're probably going into our last season before getting fired anyway.

I just cant see us actually drafting this year. We are going to be the leaders in the Watson race. Im prepping for no draft picks this year.

A final determination?  No, but they 100% have a solid evaluation on the players.  Obviously how they work out and interview will change some things, but what do you think scouts do throughout the year?  They scout players not just in the upcoming draft but in the years to come too.  Teams absolutely consider how weak or strong the next year's position group will be in a draft to determine how they should play their cards for the upcoming draft.

This is also why you've seen recently a lot of GMs not get fired until June/July.

Watson already said no to us once. I can't imagine him saying yes now that we're a far bigger dumpster fire than we were then.

[top dawg]

Well that's an entirely different argument that neither I or anyone is arguing.

There were reports stating that he didnt say no to us too. That Tepper wanted to meet with him first. I honeslty dont know which ones are true or not, and nor do I want to spend much figuring it out.  Everything Watson has us attached to it right now. I dont expect that to fade until a transaction is made.

He didn't exactly say no to us. We are considered in the mix long term depending upon what happens. I saw something listing us and the Broncos as the only ones still in the mix now that Miami is out.

Defensive end will probably be the pick.
