Anyone else see the current draft order on NFL home page? I’m curious cause it’s nothing to do with the order it’s the needs. How can anyone take these guys serious when the top 3 needs they have listed are QB, OL and WR. I get the QB need from an outside perspective. I’m as done with Dalton as anyone and have been for years. But we have to be honest, the line is making him look worse. Don’t get me wrong, Dalton is definitely limited and I don’t see this team ever winning anything with him as QB but we have 2 guys waiting on the bench that I would love to see get a fair shake before we use a top 10 pick on a QB. Again how fair can it be with that line.
The Oline need is obvious, no need to even talk about that mess. But how in the world can the have WR listed instead of LB? I know we have holes everywhere, and they even state this in the article that they are only going by top 3 needs. I just don’t see how WR is a need with so many other glaring needs.
Back to the QB position for a sec. I think there are plenty of QB’s drafted in the later rounds that are good enough to be a franchise QB if teams would give them the amount of slack a first rounder would get. I really think there are some very good QBs that just never get the chance to blossom due to where they were drafted. It’s a shame.
Oh if anyone is curious we currently hold the 3rd pick. So there’s that.
I guess their logic is this:
1) There is some level of uncertainty regarding AJ Green's future - at least for now.
2) John Ross is injury-prone, and still has consistency issues when he gets on the field.
Those are our wide-outs #1 and #2, so until we get Green re-signed and Ross can stay on the field for a sustainable period of time (and be consistent), it's worth discussing.
Having said that, not listing LB as a critical need for this team is asinine.
Everything in this post is my fault.
