Do we want to take a QB with our top pick this year and potentially ruin them with a terrible O-line and no receivers? Or do we take MHJ or some stud lineman and get a QB a year later, hopefully with more talent around him?

I’m for trading back to stock up on core positions that are currently among league worst…we need at least two high caliber NFL starting tackles. They need to add at least one high caliber NFL starting WR, if not 2, and that is just the basic foundation. They still need a pass catching playmaker RB to complement Stevenson. Are they gonna resign Gieseki? Henry?
There are so many positions of need beyond QB, that if they aren’t addressed first , will only result in another failed QB prospect.
The immediate goal should be to build up a core of offensive players that can make it through one typical set of downs without failing to block properly, without repeated, predictable penalties, With pass catchers able to run their proper routes, make the easy catches and take care of the football. Having dependable plays for players that are capable of executing the plays on any given down and distance.
If they can’t reform the entire identity of the offense, or even find ANY identity other than being a bumbling, undisciplined inconsistent and mistake ridden group that does nothing well as a unit, well then a rookie QB is not going to succeed, period.
I believe the rebuild is restarting, and we are gonna need two years of establishing a solid offensive identity before finding a real QB prospect would be justified. Welcome to the suck, we never really left it in the first place.
