We have so many holes in our starting lineup, just pick the best player available that is not a TE and will be fine. What we really need is just have a few really productive drafts! That is a new concept in DC! A good draft. Wow! Forgot what that was like. Not since the 80's. We are way over-do.
We desperately need to build both our lines, we need a stud FS and a few LB's, RB's and WR's.
Yes, of course I would love to have the next generation Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, who wouldn't. I am in no way minimizing the need for a young franchise qb of the future. But we won Sb's with Doug Williams and Mark Rypien.
IMO fixing the offensive line and getting a stud NT is more important at this time than anything else and will lead to immediate improvement on the field. The odds of drafting the next stud franchise Qb with the 15th pick is very remote. Landing a stud offensive lineman with the 15th pick is easier, given that there are 5 (OL) positions of players to pick from as opposed to one (QB). The pool of players you are picking from is bigger. Plus ceters and guards are not valued and there are usually several really good ones well past the 15th pick.
Drafting for need is a dangerous game that leads to reaching for a player that are not worthy. Kind of like a few years ago when we thought our biggest need was tall WR's. :cheeky-sm
My school of thought when drafting players when it is your turn to pick and there is nobody there that fits your talent/need equation perfectly, then go big. Statistically, there are less talented big men out there in the world then there regular size people. A stud 6'5" 300 athlete that plays amazing on the football field is harder to fined than a 5'9" to 6'4" 210 pound person/athlete. Just like in the NBA the stud 7' center is hard to find, there are not as many around.
