We have had one of the best LTs in the entire league for ten years now. It hasn't taken us anywhere.

As much as I want to draft a QB, arguing that Rodgers and Ben didn't have protection is not the way to go. They had enough protection to complete seven step drops and throw a lot of deep balls. The fact that they were so effective at running those type of plays left them more exposed to hits on the QB. Jason could barely finish a 3 step drop.

You can have the best left tackle in the game, and still not do anything. Like us for the last decade.

If you have the best QB in the game, you are going places.

Both are important, but a QB is absolutely critical. Much more important than a left tackle.

And, don't believe that if we draft Bradford, we are giving up on a LT. We can get both.

We still have plenty of other options to get one. Including packaging up players like one of our TEs, Landry, or even JC together to get one.

Dude, you're making an argument that's been beaten to death here, so don't be surprise if someone bites your head off for it.

That being said, I think at this point the smart thing would be to draft down, if the Browns don't jump us and trades down with Tampa Bay. I believe that our FO now could be in a position to get multiple picks out of our #4.
