If you were GM, how would you use our that first pick in round 2?

If the right QB is there, definitely QB.  The TE class is weak.  Interior OL can be had later.

Tepper isn't likely to throw in the towel on Bryce after year one and would probably veto that but  I definitely understand your reasoning.

You mentioned that the TE class was weak. Do you have any insight into the LT and WR classes?

I wouldn't be opposed to taking a 2nd round center if had the potential to turn into Ryan Kalil or Creed Humphry for the rest of the decade. Sure up the center position with a STUD, Put Brady at LT (his natural position), move Ekwonu inside and our O-line would improve immediately.

I'm beginning my draft digging currently, I usually wait for the college regular season to wrap, which just happened.  One thing is crystal clear about TEs, after Bowers, the drop off in talent is like a steep cliff.   Yes, Bowers is elite, but even if he weren't maybe three or four TEs get drafted before day 3.  Possibly one guy in round two and a couple in the third.

It's likely the line will be a lot better next year with Christensen at LT and Icky at LG (which is how I see it playing out). I don't see them taking OL in the 2nd or 3rd and they will most likely use free agency for some depth guys on the line. I think the first pick will be a TE or WR, dependant on if Bowers is there. That's how I'd go as well.

WR and OT class is deep. We could get a first-round talent at WR in mid/late round 2. 

If our goal is to protect Bryce and build our IOL so he can perform better like was done for Brees, kicking Icky inside is a no-brainer. I'd like to see BC with some experience under his belt and a stud LG like Icky beside him. 

We could find a very good OT in R3 this year too. 

All depends on HC/GM and the direction they want to go in. If it is someone like Harbaugh, our current OL (with Icky at G) is made for his style of offense. 

 

Extremely deep and talented qb class. They'll be an extremely talented and intriguing pick at the top of the 2nd rd. Being a gamecock fan I watched Rattler all year throw darts in the SEC behind a horrible Oline. He also had limited weapons but his arm an accuracy was on absolute point. He will definitely be there in the top of 2nd and a much less chance in the 3rd.

Penix is a lefty, so Ickey would be on his front side an Moton on his blindside.  Without shuffling the cards, this could be a quick fix if only we can solidify the guard positions.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
