For those upset we might not draft offense with #1...

It would be dumb to at this point. Rivera pretty much said what I have thought this season. 'But we had the 32nd ranked offense....waaaaaah'. Yeah we did and there was good reason.

First off we DO have an outstanding OLine....when healthy. This OL put up TWO 1000 yard rushers a year ago and gave the QB time to throw. We for a majority of the season had a makeshift line due to injuries and sometimes that happens. Name the best OL you think is out there, then yank up to 3 starters at one time for most of the season (esp both tackles) and honestly think about how they would do.

Next, we had a lot of youth at WR. These kids are learning on the fly. I personally thought they did pretty damn well all things considering.

Clausen. I have said he is nothing but hype, well I am right and wrong. I do believe Clausen was thrown in the deep end and there is no way in hell you can truely evaluate him. There is no way anyone can honestly draw any asumptions about the kid. Rookie QB, OLine beat to hell due to injuries, both top RB's out at some point and young WR's. Sorry but we MUST give this kid some more time and put him in a good position with some good help THEN evaluate the kid.

Coaching and system. The system ( if you want to call it that ) and the coaching (I wanna laugh when I say that word with the previous clowns) absolutely sucked.

Lastly, there is no talent in this draft on offense now that Luck went back, that is worth #1. You do NOT EVER take a WR #1. No way in hell. QB? We must give Clausen time, bring in a vet and let him run this while Clausen develops. We don't need RB's, a TE can be found later. We can upgrade Guard in Free agency or later in the draft. I think Defense will be the pick at #1 if we don't trade down which is my choice. Trade down and let Rivera have plenty of picks to build this team with.

When you're thrown into the deep end, you don't have to swim for your life, just float around long enough for someone to save you.
