Maybe this is just me, and I am sure it is not the popular opinion, but I think the rebuilding process needs to start at the offensive line. I am sure their 1st round pick will be a qb. However, how good is a rookie qb going to be with a terrible line?

Why not instead of some big name QB, build a great offensive line over the next 2 years or so, then get the great QB that comes out of that draft. Then, they might actually stand a chance in being productive.

Legitimate point. Youre definitely right to a degree- Tim Couch and David Carr never stood a chance. But rebuilding teams seem tend to look towards QBs as the answer. I think the solution depends on a whole host of factors.

Yep. That's what they should have done instead of wasting a 1st rounder on Weeden last year. He wasn't that much of an upgrade over McCoy. They could have beefed up their online instead. It has to suck to be a browns fan. There's always another rebuilding job starting over from scratch evryother year

I wish the Cardinals would spend an entire draft only on the offensive line!

Well they have some key pieces up front already. Joe Thomas, Mitchell Schwartz, and Alec Mack. Apparently they're struggling through two games, but no denying their ability. At Guard they need to get help. Chris Faulk would have been a first round Tackle had he not got hurt, maybe slide him inside and let him have a chance to start. Then draft a guy with one of those firsts like a Gabe Jackson, Cyril Richardson, or Zach Fulton. Someone you can start at the other Guard position. This QB class is gonna be DEEP. I think they have two second rounders as well. Get a WR then a QB.
