      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      Gambling in the first three rounds just makes the building effort longer. So you have to weigh that into the equation. Ultimately, you want to get to a situation where those picks net you at least one starter/starting caliber player and two very good rotational players(at LEAST) almost every year. That can get us back on track. So if you are having to just take a raw gamble in those rounds, versus a guy that can help you win games....I don't think we are in a good spot to be able to afford to do that. Definitely not year after year.

      I mean, someone has to start. If we are rolling out Brycd for 17 games in 2025, I suppose that means we will get to watch the rebuilding process all over again. You can try and get another veteran QB in free agency but they will also have a salary attached.  If you want to take a gamble on another young and bust QB, that's fine but that also likely leads to more rebuilding after the 2025 season. Those guys so rarely pan out. So what is left? Draft a QB? Sure, maybe. But this isn't an impressive QB draft on paper and they are going to be walking into a challenging situation. Dalton as starter in 2025 isn't waving the white flag, IMO. It's just acknowledging that we have to start attempting to build a franchise.  That said, I would never be giving out $20+ mil contracts for older QB's(Flacco, Dalton, etc). That ship has sailed.

      I guess bottom line is we need to give Canales a shot at His QB. However they find it.  Ideally we would sign an undervalued vet that Canales knows what he is getting, and start looking hard for one we can grab at good value and groom. And for me it is okay to burn a pick on a miss just don't cripple your future. Hitting on your other picks should allow for a long shot every so often.
