Terrible in coverage, if you pair him with a good covering FS, he will be fine, or if you play him close to the line at SS he will be awesome, if he needs to cover you are in trouble.

I don't think you rule out Mariota. But we also have to understand that RG3's contract is guaranteed next year. He'll definitely be on the team.

As bad as he's been we shouldn't completely write him off. Then again if we get a shot to draft Mariota we might have to take it.

I would really hope we go bpa between the Oline or Dline. Maybe if there would be a cant miss rushing olb, with the 1st pick.

Yeah trenches first and foremost.

All depends where we're picking, of course. The way things are going I could see us #2 again. Or Jay could put Colt in and we end up at #10.

Too early to talk draft meaningfully.

I wouldnt mind if we become the fleecer for someone moving up to take Jamies or Marriotta.

The best data I have seen for draft success is to accrue picks. If we have someone willing to trade up in the first round and we can get their first and second for it you have to do it.

I'm all for that! But too much trading down is a trap. Shanny proved that by picking up a bunch of late round picks that weren't worth spit.

No doubt. Success rate drops dramatically. Accrue late rounders by dumping underperforming (for the system) high salary guys that other teams still covet. Ravens do this, so do the Pats.

No you don't if clear and obvious talent is available in your draft slot. Shanny traded #10 overall in 2011 to accumulate picks that I believe turned into Kerrigan at #16 overall, Hankerson in round 3, and Helu in round 4, but in the process, passed on the chance to select J.J. Watt or Robert Quinn. Regardless of who plays QB here next year, I hope that the FO puts special emphasis on upgrading the O-line. Williams and Lichtensteiger are the only legit starters on our O-line now.

[Evilgrin]

I dunno with this FO, the best QB on the roster was a guy we didn't draft...

[Skinsfanatic]

I think you use the entire draft next year to address our deficiencies (other than QB). O-Line, Secondary, maybe some other D positions. You give this quarterback and this coach a chance to meet in the middle with upgrades at those horrific positions. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, you look for a new QB who will come into a better situation (i.e. a team with a hopefully better O-Line and Defense).

[Avinash_Tyagi]

So you guys want to continue with the same plan that has failed us for what, 2 decades?

Drafting a QB is not the solution to our woes.

Building Offensive and Defensive lines are the only option.

Damn right! This is a good year for OL. Pick the best first round OT available. Don't over-think it. No BPA. Just do it!

BTW, I'd like to say just one thing about a thread on drafting a QB: Yuck!

Actually, make that two things: B-o-o-o-o-o!

[SFREDSKIN]

Who 's available that has experience playing in the pocket and on a pro style offense? We know running QB's won't work, there needs to be a balance.

[BaltimoreSkins]

^ looking at the draft history I wouldn't consider the FO of the Skins to be QB draft happy. I think we have been rather poor in drafting overall. Of the 42 picks we have had since 2010 (5 years) 8 or roughly 20% have been o-line picks.
