I'm not a fan of Lawrence. Didn't like what I saw with him under constant pressure applied. Has a long way to go to figure things out. We'll see this season, smart he held back.

Actually that would be a definite shocker, but a trade down from 24 would be the ultimate shocker. History says best to have lots of picks.

I love AK but if we traded him for more picks while he still has value might be a good idea. You roll the dice this season because he either plays great and you have to pay him or he plays mediocre and you get nothing for him.

BB trades him

I'd be happy with QB, LB or WR being addressed. Anything else and I'd be pretty annoyed.

couldn't disagree more, this team has been on the door step of the Super bowl last 3 years. That was why Saints traded #1 pick to get Davenport; that backfired. Draft best player available at position of need today. need to be all in for this season.

We lost in the first round last season...really not the doorstep at all.

We should always draft BPA, I agree

Meh - its subjective. Alex Smith took the Chiefs to consecutive playoff trips, yet they still drafted his successor and are now defending super bowl champs.

Got to think about the future eventually, Brees very nearly didnt come back this year.

Not drafting BFA when your drafting player that may or may not play 2-3 years.
We lost in 1st round last year to team we were favored against at home. 2nd best record in the league puts you on the the doorstep. No doubt about it Vikings played there best game on the entire season, that's why they play the game.

We were 3rd in the nfc. So anyway it is old news, we didn't sniff dog poo last season. Interior oline was a huge problem.

Either way always draft BPA IMHO

Getti g sick of people moani g about a potential O Line pick and crying for skill players.

Warford play declined, last year of a highly paid deal.

Armstead missed 22 games in last 4 years alone.

Say he gets injured again(seems likely) who likes this

Peat-Easton-McCoy-Warford-Ramczyk

That's a damn ugly line that gets eaten alive
