Unless we want Streveler starting half the games, we can't go into next season with White as our starter. He's a great guy, but he can't stay on the field.
I don't think there will be any worth It early anyway. I'm not sold on any of them coming out If I'm honest. Including my boy CJ Stroud. He's not as good coming out as Justin Fields. IMO
I think we'll see OL and WR addressed in the first two rounds. This could change depending on what happens in FA. If they're going to try to roll with Mike White, they need to keep building the offense around him. Duane Brown and George Fant won't get the job done. Go out and draft and OT. Becton, Brown, and Mitchell can fight for a spot. I'm still not ready to give up on Becton lol.
Focus on o-line. The team can find a competent QB in free agency that can put up good numbers if the o-line is good. The other benefit with focusing on the O-line is that the running game will improve too.
I would focus on building the oline. No Rd1 QB is going to survive playing behind this line. If we’re going to draft a QB, then I wouldn’t mind taking Hendon Hooker in Rd 3 if he’s still there.
#1 ------ A new O-line coach. #2 ------- Paris Johnson Jr. (OT - Ohio State) in the draft. He's probably going to be in the 12-17 range which is where we'll end up picking. There is also the chance that Peter Skoronski OT from Northwestern drops to that range as well.
We also need to continue to develop offensive line depth. We’ve been terrible at it for years. Instead of pissing away late round draft picks on James Robinson’s, we should look for late round guys that fell for strange reasons.
Cut whatever dead weight you possibly can, restructure, restructure, and restructure again with the guys you want to keep, and get a quarterback who can play. 1 more decent draft and a decent quarterback and we're playoff bound.
QB, OL, LB, Punter, Punt Returner and lifetime supply of magic mushrooms for a depressed fan base. Except for the mushrooms, JD should be able to deliver once he puts the entire Zach false marketing hoodwink bamboozle fiasco behind him.
am wacthing all Strevelr plays... if you cannot see how godawful the OL you need to just put out your eyes... OL OL OL
We still need a true edge difference maker. Unfortunately I don't think we have the luxury to invest more in the DL. Where is Jermaine Johnson btw??
My biggest concern even more so the the O line. We were banged up on the O, but the edge rushing is concerning. Have to address that. Our secondary can't cover forever if we can't pressure the QB.
Aside from QB... OL, S, LB, & Punter. As far as scouting, move football IQ, & durability up the list of players they're looking at.
i said before the last draft that they needed to pick a center, guard , and tackle. the contract for tomlinson was a disaster, and i would like to see all 5 starters replaced for the rest of the season. play the backups at each slot and let's see if they actually can do a better job. after last night, it would not surprise me if they do.
