Maybe QB isn't our biggest problem?

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.

I think another thing people miss is that just because you drafted a QB in the first doesn't mean you can't also work to rebuild the OL.

Dalton has a cap hit of $17.7 mil next year with zero dead money if cut or traded.  That's what a quality starting RT would cost in FA.  If you sign a RT in FA, draft a LG in the 2nd, and resign Hopkins, the OL looks fairly solid on paper.

The other issue with building the OL first is that if you have a good enough OL to make a mediocre QB serviceable, then you're winning too many games to be in position for a top QB prospect without working a ridiculous trade.  Frankly, that's kind of where we've been the past few years.  We don't have enough talent to compete for a title, but we have too much talent to completely bottom out and get a potential franchise QB or snag one of those 1st round prospects that falls into the top of the 2nd.
