Positions Which Need to Be Addressed

Forget Luck. There are other teams that are doing a much better job of sucking for Luck than we could ever do. But I think we can still get a good QB in the draft. I like Landry Jones and Matt Barkley is growing on me. We might possibly be able to pick up Flynn as a FA, if the brain trust likes him enough. I honestly feel that we're going to be alright at QB in the not too distant future.

I also agree that the OL should be our second priority. The one thing that I don't agree with others about (and perhaps this is a fine point) is the POV that we need OL depth. That's because I think that we already have OL depth. What we lack is the quality starters we need for our OL.

Trent will be fine. I like Montgomery at C. The others make for decent backups. I thought that Jammal Brown would come on this season in his second year following a major injury but it seems that he lacks the lateral quickness to start at RT. I'd say we need to find a starter at RT and at least one quality G.

My fantasy is that we have an offseason like the Skins had in 1981 when they added Mark May, Joe Jacoby, and Russ Grimm to the OL.

The '81 draft shouldn't just be celebrated for the OL haul (I know Jacoby wasn't drafted, but he was a RFA). Dexter Manley, Darryl Grant, Clint Didier and Charlie Brown were all part of that draft as well.

On the other hand, while worthly of celebration, that draft should also be acknowledged as an element of the distant, distant past that unfortunately has no relevance today.

Sucks having still a need for CB, after Carlos leaving and now going to his first probowl. I guess Barnes, PB and Wilson were better options

People bashed Carlos for his brick hands but I always said if he is missing ints then he is doing his job.

He didn't want to be here so F him. I could be wrong, but I don't think SF gave him that much more money.

Yeah to a degree, but causing turnovers is also part of his job description.

[That Guy]

QB
RT
RG
CB1
ILB

S that can actually get on the field, backup oG, stud WR or RB if available and there's cap room, another DL guy.

I think we'll need to be careful come draft time about QB being our first priority and the difference between that and QB being our only priority. We need to address the position in the draft. But we're still far enough behind other teams where we can't pass up any pro-bowl able body for a mid-1st round quarterback.

yeah i feel like it has to be the right QB, a guy shanny feels 100% good in.

we just cant take a QB to take a QB .. but dang it, at some point we have to fire our weapon here. i really think locker or ponder would have been a skin if they had fallen to us. they didnt, we didnt like gabert . .even though gabert is one handsome looking dude. im secure in my sexuality. he would have made a sizebale impression upon the lady folk of the DMV thats for sure. as an owner you could market and maximize profit.

You must not be too familiar with this qb class. There are at least 5 guys that could go in the first round. I think all over them can fit in well with what we do. The truth is it doesn't matter what we do with other parts of our team if we don't address our qb position.

You draft BPA and only BPA. If a QB is BPA, he gets taken, no ands, ifs, or buts. But if he isn't and there's another good prospect, then you take that prospect. We have a lot of needs and certainly not one player away. We must be able to hold our water when rebuilding or no rebuild will ever occur.

There will be a good qb prospect there for us to draft. Taking the BPA is not a good strategy for building a team. We don't have the luxury of drafting another TE, S, or LB because they're the BPA. We have to draft guys that make sense. It makes no sense not to draft a qb when you have so many good ones coming out. Qb is by far our biggest need. Vinny drafted the BPA. That is why we still suck to this day.

Vinny drafted for need or decided to burn his money(draft picks ARE a currency) to fill "needs" via trades. Jason Taylor was a "need" trade. TJ Duckett was a "need" trade. Drafting Thomas and Kelly for that "big WR" were also a need picks. If he REALLY wanted to draft BPA in 2008, Vinny had Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Mendenhall, Sam Baker etc to take.

Usually, QBs are BPA or the difference is not enough to pick a non-QB over another QB. TEs usually do not go in the first round anyway.

We are not stacked even at those positions, not long-term anyway. 3 years from now, Fletch will more than likely be retired, Otogwe is gone, and Cooley is gone. Our entire team is going to be ass in three years if we do NOT HIT on players. Hitting on players is the #1 imperative of drafting. If you do not hit, you address nothing and leave the roster in worse shape and waste time with some loser.

Carey Price is my example of BPA working out. The Habs were "loaded" at goalie when they drafted him, but almost all of those other goalies have not done much in the present.

I feel like if we're in a position to land Jones, Barkley, or even Luck, we need to make it happen. We haven't had a franchise QB since Joey Sunshine. Super Bowls aren't won nowadays without one. It's a passing league, and we are desperate for a passer.

I agree with you but what about RG3?
