His supporting cast is dismal and still he has showed great potential.. If we had used a number one pick on him would we be talking about yet another number one pick QB ?? Let's take a page out of San Fran and build a team around the QB and give him a chance .. We never ever seem to learn .. Right now who would you pick Bryce Young or Purdy ?? There is no way this team can afford a swing and miss with our top pick .. and it's at best a 50/50 gamble with a QB .. What is it that Sam can't do ?? He can Run .. he has enough arm strength to throw it deep .. he is tough as nails .. his team mates love him .. he is coachable .. yes he has struggled but what QB wouldn't with the WORST Oline in league .. and always playing from Behind because we have WORST D in league.. AND WORST coaching staff in league ... yea that is a blueprint for success 😳. If we don't Upgrade significantly the Oline and get TE and won't matter if we have the number one overall pick ..
Selecting a QB in the first round doesn't mean that we are not going to attempt to fill other roster needs. That whole argument is getting old.

Even with a trade, we're likely to have draft picks to fill needs, and we'll have $90 million dollar of cap room to fill any roster needs.

You know what this team has not had since Joe Gibbs' second stint as coach? A GM and HC having the ability to pick their own QB without Snyder meddling in the decision.

And again, I'm not saying we HAVE to draft a QB with the first round pick. But I don't get this strong opposition from fans to the notion of this happening.

I think both of these posts are on point. We make way too much of draft position in assessing how to slot needs. The need to find good QB’ing is never satisfied, and if they really like a guy, pick him wherever he’s available, high or low.

At the same time, this organization has been terrible at developing players into a cohesive and successful system. Howell is smart and has good skills and toughness. If the new bosses like him and they don’t like who’s available when they are picking, fine. Just have a plan and keep extraneous bullshit out of it.
