2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Totally. The worst thing we can do is not give a rookie QB a line he has confidence in. Who knows, maybe the difference between Stroud and Young last year was the crap OL of the Panthers? Maybe our rookie QB isn't taking us to the playoffs, but he definitely ain't behind a crap OL, and who knows what damage we do to him if we don't protect him as best we can. Not to mention being able to use the run to ease that pressure too. 2nd and/or 3rd pick needs to be an LT. And personally I'd like to see a trade back into the 1st to get the best guy we can.

I think they'll need to do that to draft a LT who can start right away. When the run on the top LT prospects starts at the draft, they'll need to jump in immediately with a trade offer to move up and get one. It will cost but it will probably be worth it.
