So I'm starting a QB draft discussion.
Griffin isnt the future, neither is McCoy.
Next years QB free agents are lame.
So who are all these awesone new OL guys going to block for...Cousins????
And for what its worth, my choice would be OL in the first round as is most of you guys but last I checked no one on this board is going to make the selection.

Gotcha.

To reiterate what I said then, no way do I see us landing Winston or Mariota, and tbh nobody else is worth a high enough pick given our other considerable needs IMO.

As for our approach on draft day, I agree that more often than not we seem to miss more than we hit, even when we do hit (what we thought we had with RG3 for example)! Maybe there will be a shake-up behind the scenes though that allows the team to genuinely lay some solid foundations. Who knows. It seems Gruden calling out and subsequently dropping Robert could be signs that he's pushing hard for significant changes into how this team is run on and off the field.

Re who the line is going to block for, I don't believe anyone has the long term answer to that, maybe not even Gruden. It's just my personal opinion that if the offensive line is shored up then there can be no more debates that it may be part of the reason our franchise guy is not going through reads or tossing interceptions or whatever. In a nutshell, you can get the clearest evalutaion of exactly what you have or don't have with every QB on this team whether that's Griffin, Cousins or McCoy.
