Maybe QB isn't our biggest problem?

Building the line BEFORE we draft a QB is a logical move, but our o-line has been bad for years and despite Mike Brown actually trying (in his own half-assed way) to fix it, it is WORSE than before he tried to fix it.  When is our o-line going to be good enough to warrant drafting a QB?  It's been years with no relief in sight...so we just extend Dalton until 2025 and hope that at some point the o-line will finally be good enough to boot his ass and put someone else in there?  Oof!

Indeed...and we've seen some teams with good offensive lines who struggle to find a QB for 5-10 years. Thus, effectively wasting the offensive line.

I think you just have to build with the players available to you. IF you can get a franchise QB, you take them. Franchise Tackle...take them.

That said, for all we know we could draft an OT at 2 who is a bust or Jonah could be a bust. You never know.
