Maybe if we shred both his knees people will stop worrying about weapons and start worrying about protecting the kid.

Oh... the guy who led the league in receiving yards this year... 5th rounder. But, yeah we should waste another year and another pick not protecting Burrow.

The guy 2nd in yards... a 3rd round TE...

The top 10 in yards receiving this year... only 3 were first rounders. Couple 2nd rounder, a 3rd and a few 5ths.

Also, I don't think a FA cares about the board... jesus.. that wasn't the point... I'll stop assuming you can follow and spell it out. If everyone here knows that Taylor sucks and the Ownership sucks, and all the sports talk shows around the country say the same thing... that means that the players and agents know it too. And while some guys will go after the money, most players would prefer to win then collect a paycheck. Or, they will sign, get paid and then "be injured" like a tackle we had not too long ago. Last season people signed on thinking #1 pick and young coach would move forward, now I think it is safe to say the league has seen enough to know Taylor isn't going to turn it around like everyone here says. Do you think players live in a bubble and don't read about teams that are trying to sign them?

Because of course the pick is wasted if we draft anything other than a player at the position group you want.

Last time I checked, it was our LG that got Burrow's knee shredded.  If you want to protect Burrow, why do you want to gamble on a draft pick being as advertised, particularly since I showed you it's not statistically likely a 1st round T will give up fewer sacks than Hart?  You should want a proven commodity, especially with the steep learning curve at OL.  

And the 1st team All Pro LT this year was a 4th round pick.  You can play that game with literally any position group.  Know why?  Because more than 6x as many players get drafted in rounds 2-7 as round 1.  The greatest QB in league history was a 6th round pick.  Does that mean you can just get a starting QB on day 3?  No.  

I think the point about FA is that you can't logically argue that you can't good a good FA T because FA's don't want to come here, but you can get a good FA WR.  That makes zero sense because if FA's  don't want to come here, why can you get a good FA WR, but not a good FA T?  

Not to mention, do you know how silly it is narrow your 1st round pick down to 1 position group before you even see what happens in FA?  Unless you need a QB and are in a position where you're assured a top prospect, that's just extremely short sighted and close minded.
