    Huh? The Titans prove my point. They compete because they have the best running game in the NFL, a good defense AND an above average QB.

    It says a lot that they have such a good running game and defense on top of an above average QB and still couldn't make it all the way. You basically need an elite QB to compete for the Super Bowl. Even having an elite running game, defense and above average QB might not be quite enough.

    I'm so jealous of the Titans. Watching Derrick Henry is a joy and I just personally love smashmouth football like that

    Over-drafting a QB at #2 is the kind of move a desperate team with no other QB on the roster makes.

    Since we flushed our Lawrence tix down the shitter, I’m not so sure there’s any other QB’s I’d take over Darnold to once again start over at this point. Build the O-line and some weapons for Sam, and hoping to God maybe we have a better HC.

    Being somewhat optimistic here (or at least trying to), maybe this whole situation will light a fire under Darnolds ass, and with some better players from the draft he’ll take the next step?....

    ...idk, I’m still dumbfounded beyond the capacity of rational thought after yesterday still *smh*

    I was at a Jags site and they already had a picture of TL in a Jags uniform on the front page.

    I’d have to agree with those saying it makes no sense to move Becton, if anything you draft Sewell and make him a RT.

    Although I do have a problem drafting a RT at 2 Sewell just may be the exception and likely would have the biggest impact any other 2 pick would.

    We don't have another QB on the roster though, do we? I mean Sam is among the worst in the league by any metric.

    Fields/Wilson are both reaches at #2 but what choice do we have?

    I hate that we missed out on Lawrence so badly. We're right where we were before we drafted Darnold - in a place where we need a QB desperately but are going to have to reach for one in the draft or have no QB at all.

    The way out of this vicious cycle was to truly hit rock bottom and get Lawrence.

    You still do your homework. If Joe feels Sam isn't the one, you start looking at this QB class. Lawrence is sure fire to go one and the Jets may still get the #1 spot. But you look at Fields and Wilson. I personally feel Wilson would be the guy if you want to go QB at 2.

    If you feel Sam is the one and Joe actually gets a bright offensive mind who can mold Sam moreso to his talents, you go that route. Joe is respected and has the ammo still to bring in a top offensive mind. Loads of caps space and the need to improve with almost a blank slate, that's still a job OC's will take a look at. Grab a Sewell or Slater to solidify RT then you have bookend tackles, you would just have to get a few guards to blend in. Get some big time offensive weapons. Look at Allen Robinson or Chris Godwin. I have faith Joe will make this work whatever way it ends up breaking.

    its not about getting a " good starter" at RT. Sewell would be a pro bowl LT for 10 years and Becton maybe the best RT ever for 10 years. Sign Thuney and we have one of the best O lines in the league. Seattle pick Offense, #33 offense. Build everything up and get QB after that.

    I vote for build the OL

    and go offense like crazy picks and signings

    see if Sam can be game manager (or better) until we find FQB

    Let it be known this was not what I wanted but when life gives you lemons you gotta try your best to make lemonade

    What is wrong with having 2 dominant tackles, probably the best 2 in the league? If we can do that and add a big name guard in free agency we will have arguably the best line in the league. Get that running back from Bama with our 2nd 1st. We can now run the ball, control the clock and gas out the D. Also give the QB more time to throw. If you could then add Robinson at receiver, we now have an offense. We draft one of fields and Wilson at 2 and they miss, we are inevitably screwed.

    Edit: I understand paying 2 tackles big time money down the road will be an issue

    Just like how the Jets are never winning against the Rams in LA?

    Let the games play out and see what happens Brook.
