Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...

I think people seem to forget that not only is our pass protection shot to shit, but our line can't run block. So you're going to put a rook QB to get shell shocked in front of a shitty line, without a good running game? Great, I can't wait for next season.

That being said, I would take a tackle with the first round pick. If a good QB is available, I would pick him up in the 2nd round. I think we can pick up a good RB in the 4th round. Also, let's not forget that our problems won't be solved with one draft.

Personally, I'd try to sucker a team into giving me round picks for Portis or anyone else we can afford to lose and can garner some picks. But that would require a change in the FO, which I pray it happens.

Ah a guy with my line of thinking. Trade Portis for multiple picks. I would even consider trading Haynesworth during an uncapped year for possible multiple #1 picks. Even multiple second rounders would be acceptable to me for both guys(try to get 3 picks for Al if they are second or thirds). I know getting rid of Al right away sounds nuts, but if you want to rebuild a line relatively quickly that is what you need to do. The newbie that called us idiots did make an excellent point after the collective insult. We really are looking at a massive overhaul, and to me getting multiple picks fast is the way to do it. We then have room to draft a QB, some DBs, etc. Big Al is earning his keep for sure, but unless we can score points and find a way to win, his services are useless.

I wouldn't oppose to the idea of trading Portis, but who do u think would actually try to trade and give up first day round pick for a RB with tons mileages? As for Haynesworth, I said, keep him.. Yes he doesn't score points but he keeps the game close.. He is making Carter look like a real legit DE right now, now try imagine and apply that to Orakpo when he's full-time DE? It would be beast.. And beside, I'm pretty sure Snyder has fallen in love with him, he ain't gonna let Haynesworth go..

There is a possibility that we could rebuild the O-line overnight (off-season), just like we did with our D-line? But of course, it all depends on what we do with our QB situation.. If we do right by the QB situation, then there would be a possibility of completely improved offense next season..

Honestly, I'd be happy getting a 3rd or 4th rounder for Portis. I'm sure we could get a good back in the 3rd or 4th round.

Actually, when I think about guys like David Carr and Patrick Ramsey, you could literally break a guys spirit by throwing him to the NFL wolves as a young QB with pathetic protection. Build the lines, everything else will follow.

That's what we will have with a 1st round QB with our terrible line.

I know it was supposed to be about the first round pick, but overall I would not be opposed to:

1.) OT
2.) QB
3.) OL
4.) OL
5.) RB
6.) OL
7.) DL

I pretty much like this idea, lol.. Except for 7th pick and we have no 3rd, we can wait until next off season to address defense through draft.. Although I would like us to try and find a SLB through free agent during the off season..

Something along those lines should happen, obviously with a trade down involved for us to acquire a 3rd rounder or maybe even an additional 2nd.
For the most part I agree with what you posted, although I'd like to see us go RB with a pick higher than the 5th round, and we're gonna need more LB depth. We need so much help on offense it's gross. TE is the only place we're set IMO.
