Pretty sure that’s why our top five drafts picks have mostly sucked. If one of those d lineman is the unquestioned best player when we pick, take him. Prime example we took need(Bortles) over BAP(Mack) and it makes no sense to continue to do the same over and over. If we take another qb just off need and he’s [BLEEP], they might as well move to London.

This is a weird take on things...

We needed a QB and they took a RB top 5.
We needed an OL guy and they took a DL guy.

-shrug-

I don't think there's a perfect method. It's the guy making the picks that is the problem.

This idea that this draft's crop of QBs isn't as good is a misnomer.

I remember hearing this every other draft or so... "next years crop of [insert position here] is better"
Truth is... no one of us, or any draftnik, really know if next years crop is going to be any better, healthier, or anything.

If you need a QB you go get one... you don't put your fanbase through THIS kind of season and then sit on the problem for a whole year.
Other than Tua (and Herbert if he stays in) I'm not sure how "next years QBs" are gonna be any better, and there is no guarantee Tua comes out as a Jr and there is no guarantee we're in position to get either next year.

If we're picking top 10 and Grier or Haskins or Lock is available I think it'd be pretty stupid to not select one of them.
But that's just like, my opinion, man.

It's a very defense heavy draft, particularly on the defensive line. If we would've drafted a QB last year, we still could've ended up with a DT/DE in the 2019 draft, better than Bryan.

You're not wrong.
However, we could have done better by going OL or TE and then QB in the first here and STILL end up with prem-o d talent in rounds 2 because of how heavy and deep this draft is (and how other teams will reach for offensive positions of need)

Ah well... hopefully the guy(s) in charge of those screw ups is gone.....

Indeed...
If the pick isn't QB it better be OL.

There really isn't anything else that is excusable, barring a trade down.

If the top couple QBs are gone and Bosa is there, I dont see how you pass on him especially with Fowler gone and Calais at the end of his career and 15 mil cap hit. We could trade back into the first and get good value on a QB most likely. Especially if Haskins and Herbert come out. A Dline of Bosa-Dareus-Bryan-Yannick would look nasty.
