If you were GM and had someone who could be the GQBOAT....

Second pick. My first thought as a GM is getting the guy who is going to make the biggest impact for my TEAM to win. If Claiborne or Coples are there then those are the two guys who in the long-term make the biggest impact. If those two guys aren't there then I start thinking OL rather than reaching for a guy like Kirkpatrick. Agree with protecting Cam but our defense is terrible and an OL isn't going to help that. A pass-rusher or lockdown corner will.

don't see the point honestly. we are getting 3 or 4 guys back on the line who ended the year on IR, schwartz, otah, and williams have all started and all looked solid when they have at one point or another. yes i know otah is never healthy, but his back ups are solid. add into that mix bell in his second year, who should improve quite a bit, and we are pretty deep on the O-line. cam is mobile enough to where he could thrive behind an offense made of our starters from this year plus one of those guys mentioned above.

We go defense first pick, defense second, possibly in the 4th, then we look at late round O-line talent because for whatever reason hurney is really good at finding late draft O-line gems/solid backups.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.

      First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
