At least one O-lineman please. Unless we sign 2 multi-year starters in free agency, we need more quality on the lines.

But OLB[Rush], ILB, ILB, OL, DB in top rounds would be great.

Walk Worthy,

Luck isn't that guy, he would have been great, just not Manning great.

Luck was exactly that guy. He took 4-5 win teams and got them to 11 wins

Mostly agree. It really depends on the qb class, I don’t follow college ball much so I have no idea if there’s a franchise qb to be had, but assuming there’s no lock, I would roll with Brissett one more year and build the trenches.

You have to take a chance at a QB when they come along and this is a deep QB draft. Again, hypothetically speaking, I would take the QB.

History of the NFL is filled with great overall teams destined to mediocrity due to not having a franchise QB

The only thing that massively stands out is that, in very limited action, Jimmy G protects the ball better by not throwing picks.

Otherwise? Remember the phrase "there are not enough NLF quality QBs in the league......" If Brissett ends up the season at around a 61 - 62% completion percentage and around a 2-to-1 TD-to-INT ratio, then there will be an NFL team that would trade a 2nd round pick for him.

I am against that trade but someone would do so.

Walk Worthy,

Great work but not weighting this somehow to credit Brissett with several handicaps, namely Pagano, Chudzinski and O-line not to mention taking over the reins after 2 weeks of cramming for the new system he is in seems unfair. People may be right and JG MAY have a stellar career justifying a high 2nd round pick. Brissett on the other hand is going to have a nice sample size for people to j6dge him by. I don't care who they have beaten but bottom line is he is 3-5 as the starting QB and if not for horrific coaching could be 4-4 or 5-3. I'm 50/50 on what should be done prior to draft. If Luck is throwing effectively without suffering any consequences then Ballard can then field calls on Brissett. If Luck is still not throwing pre draft then Brissett goes no where.

Or just keep them both next year....

I would plan o keeping at least until the season before his contract expires. The past 6 years of convinced me you need a decent Backup QB, we got way too lucky until Mannings last season.

Somehow, the legend of the backup QB's greatness only gets better over time.
