It never takes a couple of years to solidify anything other than QB.

I got to go O-line in the 1st. D-line in the 2nd. If this trend of losing continus a 5th pick or lower could happen with a low 30's. Trading Jordan could get us about any type of line O or D we wanted with picks that low. Rebuild complete.

The failure rate of draft picks is way way too high to risk trading a star player for a couple of high picks.

It doesn't make sense at all.

We need a DE that can crush the pocket and attack the QB, Cam Jordan just isn't good enough. We need to trade him while he may still have some value. and pick up his replacement. Also need a DT that can push the middle of the pocket and an OLB that can run and disrupt. After that get a big WR with speed that might be under the radar and address the two G spots and RT. Unfortunately we're stuck with Unger for now, but he's been underwhelming so far. Oh, and we need Browner's replacement.

unger has been bad?

Personal preference: Best available D-lineman & O-lineman 1st through 3rd Rounds.

No trading up; only trade down for additional picks.

Steady but at least his team is finding a way to win.

Get a Vet WR and hold off on drafting one until rd 3. We need to hit with a DL that has a great pass rush and a OL that can be plugged in right away. Drew has a very fast release but this year it's not even close to fast enough. The guy needs more time. And with a dominant pass rush our DB's will look much better.

He needs more time? He's already holding the ball too long. He needs someone to get open.
