If we don't re-sign Armstead...we should be able to get a 3rd round comp pick for him if we play our cards right.

I feel if they are wanting to make a play in Winston then we aren’t gonna be able to keep MW and TA. I’m all about Oline but youth comes in to play at some point and injury history, I go with MW. If we get a 3rd round comp for TA that’s all good. Regarding draft I prefer BPA so who knows.

Pretty much nailed it.

We have beyond a championship defense. We will have continuity in defensive coaching. If this team can add weapons/better interior blocking...we are a QB away. And unfortunately, that is going to be the hardest part to figure out. You really need at least top 10-12 QB play to be able to compete at this point.

Chad, I know you disagree, but this is why I'm very pro Jameis. Because despite some of his struggles he has the potential of a top 10 QB and has been there for portions of his career. He can be a volume passer.

I prefer Winston over Hill but I think with MT, another at least decent WR, Trautman making a jump or adding a solid TE, he’d be good also. My biggest issue right now with Hill is health from injuries and if he’ll be ready for this season.

We have a good D but Taysom is the type that can keep you in games that are close, has a little bit of that clutch gene, and can pump a team and crowd up. Winston though can be a gun slinger and if down 3 TDs end of 3rd Q, Winston gets on fire and you can be right back in it.

The biggest issue I have with Taysom is that he will never be a large volume passer (he can be a mid volume passer probably). So with him at QB we would really need the offense to focus on using his other abilities. Which I think could totally happen but we'd probably need to shuffle the coaching or get a new OC to be able to do that. I don't think the way we tried to use Taysom last year would get the most out of him.

Oh I agree, but his threat of running can cause headaches for defenses. He’s a decent enough passer they have to respect both though. As I said, I’d prefer Winston though

Super Bowl contenders haha? I hope this board never changes. Completely delusional.

The question is obviously going to be whether Jameis, a guy who knows your system but is coming off a significant knee injury, is a better option than what is realistically out there.

It is hard to see Seattle letting Wilson go. If they do, someone will have to pay a king's ransom to get him. Do you give up someone like Lattimore or another defensive stud, plus draft picks, to get him? I just don't see it happening.

Jimmy G is the most realistic trade opportunity. But is he really better than (potential) peak Jameis?

Are there any rookies in the draft for which you are willing to move up a bit from 18 to get? It doesn't seem like it.
