you cant guarantee that. the one thing we do know is that they ran out of qbs in that game. to me, that's why they lost. they have great players at all the positions you mentioned. except one. quarterback. hell, that team was ao good they made the championship game with brock flipping purdy. and we're not likely ever to know if trey lance was a good pick until he gets healthy enough to play back to back GAMES, much less back to back seasons.

taking a tackle wasnt the difference between the niners winning and losing that game to the eagles. the difference was quarterback.

okudah is the perfect example.

the choice isnt "draft for help now" or "draft a qb." the choice is between drafting the player you think will help your team the most and become the best player or drafting a player who plays a position we think needs help now. if you draft a cb because you need a cb now rather than drafting an wide receiver or a defensive end you think will be a demon in two years but will take time to bed in now, youve made a mistake.

why? stroud isnt ready to start now most likely. fyi, newest pff mock, lol:

would you give goff the contract jalen hurts just got?

that's not the best way to draft, imo. you need to think about the future and build a solid base of talent. im not advocating drafting a qb, but "we need someone to contribute right now" is not the way to draft. especially not that high. of the players you mentioned, all of them will have growing pains. tyree wilson? very unrefined player. anderson is small. first year corners almost always suck (gardner is a massive exception). honestly, if you really wanted a plug and play guy, take bijan. but again, with the long term in mind that's not a good decision to draft an rb that high.

if they draft a qb at 6, it will be because they see him as goff's replacement in two years, not because they need a backup this year. you shoot for the moon with the #6 pick.

brugler on stroud: : A two-year starter at Ohio State, Stroud was a record-setting passer for the Buckeyes in head coach Ryan Day’s multiple spread offense. While leading the FBS in touchdown passes (41) in 2022, Stroud broke Drew Brees’ Big Ten record for the most touchdowns in a two-year span and finished with 17 Ohio State records (second in school history with 8,123 career passing yards). Structurally sound, Stroud throws with patience and poise and he can make all the throws. Though he appears comfortable on plays designed to move his launch point, his improvisation skills when things break down are a work in progress (his outstanding performance on the 2022 Georgia tape raises the level of optimism). Overall, Stroud must become more comfortable embracing his athleticism and escapability, but he is an outstanding rhythm passer with touch, pacing and ball-speed control to carve up the defense. His passing skills give him an encouraging floor as an NFL starter and his development as a creator will ultimately determine his NFL ceiling. GRADE: 1st Round (No. 4 overall)

if the lions see what you do, they should take him. if he's like previous osu qbs, or he's justin fields without the otherwordly athleticism, they shouldnt. its hard to tell with osu qbs because theyre all throwing to the best wide receivers in college football. as for the michigan game, i think stroud was fine, and the one time michigan had single coverage on marvin harrison, stroud put an absolute dime to him that got them a big touchdown.

dan campbell? he was the head coach when lynn was here too. and they (and goff) sucked.

as equally important as potentially upgrading on goff is how theyre going to replace ben johnson.

i think jsn is the first receiver picked. the thing i worry about with him is health.

having 33 year old marvin jones as your starter is a problem if you consider yourself a contender.

marvin jones is nothing but depth at this point in his career.

i wouldnt say $750k is "inconsequential." that's a lot of money even for a business that makes a lot of money.

the way he acted afterwards as well. i get being emotional and im sure the crowd was taunting him, but you need to be a little professional and not act like a lunatic. he's a bit unhinged.

yes.

draymond cant help but be an ass hole.

dont bet on it.

what a pass by bertuzzi.

exactly.

breese has been injured and not that productive when healthy.

austin reaves....who knew?

rip estrepe. 😢
