Could we really pick something other than QB or o-line at 6?

If he's the best player on your board and you can't trade down for picks, you take him there. Don't worry though, we're taking Pickett. A rookie QB gets Rhule a mulligan for year 3. 

Positional value matters. A lot. There's a reason very, very few IOL are taken in the top 10. I can't ever recall a center drafted in the top 10.

In the top 10 you're looking for impact players at high value positions. IOL doesn't qualify IMO. The two relatively recent top 10 IOL picks were also ironically both busts.

I don't disagree with you there, it's just who do you take and who do you trust Rhule and company to take? None of the QBs are worth pick 6. Linderbaum feels like the safest pick unfortunately and I don't want to hamstring the next coach if we somehow manage to get rid of Rhule.

Oh, we're gonna hamstring the fug out of him. I fully expect future draft assets to get traded away and our salary cap getting shot all to hell. Rhule has already proven to be in over his head at the NFL level and now he's desperate. That's scary.

That's what I'm really afraid of. If/when we ever do get rid of Rhule, how in the world are we ever going to entice a promising HC candidate with no draft picks, cap, or assets.

Bingo. Hence why I've been saying that as bad as it looks currently, with Rhule still here and still weilding full control it's bound to get uglier.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
