I'm assuming not bringing JC back means drafting a QB in the first and I don't want to do that. I think it's too much of a gamble when there are other players at other positions of need. If JC doesn't improve in his third year in this system with a better line, he can back-up the QB from the 4rth or we can draft a QB next year. Either way our first 2 picks will have a year under their belts and we'd be better prepared to start a rookie or 2nd year QB. Every year we find a reason not to draft an o-linemen with a high pick. True we could draft QB then o-line in the 2nd, unfortunately we need more than one. OLB and RB would have to be addressed with the fifth pick or grab a FA. That's my opinion..."at the moment".  |
Ultimately, I wouldn't be mad if we got rid of Campbell for Bradford as I think that Sam Bradford is the best quarterback in the draft (although Colt McCoy is probably a better value option, depending on the system).
But the last thing this team should be doing is making improving the offensive line hard on itself. I don't know how the team could possibly justify passing on Okung for Bradford/Clausen unless they pick a OT in the second round who is an all-pro right from day one. And if they can do that, I'm not sure why said guy is going in the second round.
