I'm not so sure that Burrow will be available at any price, as much as a lot of us want him. Suppose we pick in the top 10 or so, maybe as low as #7 overall. There are a couple of teams ahead of us that also really need a QB. Highly doubt they trade away their pick, even if we sell the farm. I'm thinking we're best off to get the best OT that drops to us wherever we pick, and it looks like some good talent should be there--possibly someone like Wirfs. If a decent QB is there in round 2, I would consider it. I'd also like to get a G in round 3-4 or so, AND draft a FA OT...I say, BUILD THE LINE, and no matter what QB you put behind it, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, we have a better chance of winning. What do you think?
POLL: Should the Bolts rebuild the O line, or sell the farm for a top-tier QB?

Forget slotting, forget perceived BPA. Even the best talent evaluators get it wrong sometimes. BPA got us Jerry Tillery... Fix the OL. The only scenario I can see where you go something other than OT would be if the first 5 OT's are gone by the #9 pick. But... that ain't happening. Go get the future LT. Then look at BPA in 2nd round... with heavy consideration of center.
I'm not waiting around for players to develop anymore. Rookies start all the time in the NFL... don't make me create a list... that's just a lame excuse. No more excuses. Fail one more time along the OL and TT should get his walking papers.

There are hardly any full pad practices all summer.
Consider the current nature of Oline play/development.
I remember you said you never liked the Falcons '19 draft...McGarry's bad too...comments please Nutty.You don't know ball

So far, I only like Wirfs and Thomas in round 1. The others are not initial starters. Use our draft capital on other things and continue to develop who we have. I have bigger plans for Okung than you do.

At this point, it is just agree to disagree.

Maybe the best approach is to combine all of our wants/concerns.
Keep Okung. He's overpriced... but he's the best we got... when he's healthy.
Draft a 1st round OT. Looks like Wirf is a guy everyone can agree upon.
Rivers and his contract might be out the door. Take that money and sign a RT, DT, and an OG.
1. OT Wirf
2. BPA: OC Creed Humphrey, QB Jacob Eason, QB Jordan Love, DT Marvin Wilson...
