Texas vs. Oklahoma: Scouting our next QB?

[Trample the Elderly]

I'll say it again, eff a QB! That's all you're doing anyway by bringing one in here. Look at Ramsey. Look at Brunell. Soup is looking more and more like Brunell everyday. He limps around like Brunell. He has to throw balls away like Brunell. He can't run like Brunell. Do you guys detect a trend here? If you want to eff a perfectly good QB, draft one and put him behind this line.

"All we need is one QB and a good WR. That will take us to the promised land". Y'all sound like Al Snyderato.

yes yes yes yes, if we draft another qb before we get a new solid left tackle it just shows we are on the same path we have been on for a while which isn't a good one, sometimes you need to address your teams needs and not go after the sexy picks, like the texans did with wiliiams that worked out for them and now they have slayton

The draft really should be about selecting BPA but you do that by either

A. Drafting well in previous years
or
B. Shoring up positions of need through free agency.

Last year we didn't do either of these and even though the signing of Derrick Dockery was a good start, we stopped there. As I've said before I've never opposed the drafting of Orakpo however the guys we drafted after Orakpo were more then enough to make my head spin. A CB, 2 LB's, a WR, and a FB. Vinny's willing to hedge his bets on pass catchers, DE's, and LB's but when it comes to OL he avoids them like the plague. Sure he shows up to their pro days but thats about as close as he comes to selecting offensive lineman.

I personally would be more then willing to take the Falcons approach in that we take the QB first and then either move up to take a first round tackle or at the very least wait and see whos there in the second. Of course we could even use that pick to pry away a young free agent who won't be available thanks to the current state of the CBA. Marcus McNeil comes to mind but I don't think you can pry him away with a 2nd round pick.

I know that I myself would be in heaven if we found a way to bring in a top 10 1st round QB, Marcus McNeil (LT,25), Jahari Evans (OG, 26), Jeremy Trueblood (RT, 26), and Kevin Mawae (C, 33). Of course at that point I might just be as guilty as our owner when it comes to competently building a team. Still I can dream.
