What??? Lol why in the world would you think we dont need a stud top 10 tackle right now. So your ok with your vet QB Carr basically being killed because you just want someone serviceable protecting him???

A serviceable tackle is not going to get Carr killed. Is he going to take some hits? Sure but other teams manage without having a top tackle. If you have a chance to get a potential superstar like Odunze or Bowers then you take it. You don’t go into this draft and just say first round tackle no matter what. Also it is worth mentioning that offensive weapons help with protection. Qb can get the ball out faster and can make defenses pay on blitzes

I would disagree especially considering our qb is a bit subpar when it comes to dealing with pressure to begin with. I like Odunze he has potential but WR is not a need.

I don’t think TE is a need either. Bowers may be talented but I wouldn’t think hes this huge impact type of guy. Take a look at all the first round TEs drafted in the last 20 years. The only guys that you would label as impact players would be Dallas Clark, Greg Olson, Vernon Davis and Todd Heap out of 25 TEs selected. The chances Bowers becomes a franchise type TE is pretty slim.
