Hindsight makes the choice really obvious, but it wasn't when they were drafted. List of top 10 drafted QBs in the 2000's isn't really pretty. Odds are better for getting a great QB in the top 5 -top 10, but the odds are still 50-50 at best., the odds go down after that. What did Arthur Smith turn Tannehill into? That's your answer.

Be a boring place if we all had the same opinion. There is a guy out there for sure that thinks there's a chance Vick is coming back too, so to each there own! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as if Wilson HAS to be the guy I'm not so sure about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edge 2) Safety 3) Linebacker (we have a lot of will and chase guys, and no bangers) Need more of these takes. 3) Linebacker- No bangers, and really could say whole team in that regard minus Neal. Heck AJ was one of more physical players on team. Gonna assume this is a shot at Jones, I get it. He is a playmaker tho and wonder if banger would be more productive than what he brings? I think Foye in any defense would work. His Dallas game in 18 plays and Ninja ability to get Koo onsides is... spooky good for better words JohnnyFranchise 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can anybody name one single time a top 5 qb sat for a full year? Let’s instead list this generations top QB’s who sat to start their career. Where they are drafted is irrelevant. Top QB’s who sat to start their career: 1. Patrick Mahomes 2. Aaron Rodgers 3. Tom Brady 4. Deshaun Watson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look, as others have said, it's going to be nearly impossible to sit a top 5 pick for ONE year let alone a couple. Arthur Smith and Fontenot don't have a Jon Gruden 10 year contract to just screw around and play to win a couple of years down the road. And with as many holes as this team has, is the locker room going to take you seriously if you sit your #4 draft pick? It will be bad vibes all around. And then you still have to eat a bunch of Ryan's contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We were at the bottom of the league and had zero talent. We are talented on offense, and we’ve seen what they are capable of with a good scheme and coach. We just need a RB on offense. And I hope he can instill toughness. We will see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well things could go south with Matt too you know..........At least he'd have a young guy to turn to..To save his own ***. lol....We could always trade Matt at some point of it doesn't work out...We're gonna have to pay him regardless...........

rh50 46 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, FalconFanSince1969 said: Your last line is the exact reason we shouldn't be taking a qb at 4 in the first place. Ya but QB is so much more important than other position I can throw away from a CB or double team a DE. QB literally touches ball every offensive snap. I’m not in camp they have to draft a QB question no questions asked and won’t be mad if they don’t take one. But if you get to 4 and a QB is top of your board you take him imo.

Passprotection 234 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Would love Zach at 4 but if not there, trade down if it means we can load on picks. Have a good bit of needs and not much cap room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
