For Those Upset Caldwell and/or Marrone Weren't Fired

#47

1) QB: One of two things has to happen: Either we package everything to move up and grab Haskins if we think he is a true franchise QB and worth the investment to go and get him, or you find a way back into the back half of the first to grab one of the second-tier guys (Lock, Grier, Jones) if scouting shows they have franchise potential. As far as the stopgap goes, I would prefer to keep Blake and not throw further cap money into a question mark or equal replacement. If the only thing we can get is an erratic Fitzpatrick or washed out backup from somewhere else on a one-year deal, take your lumps until the rookie is ready to take over.

2) OL: If Parnell still has contract with us, I'm not letting him go. The reason we have no depth is we've been throwing high picks at the LT position for a while now for middle-of-the-road results, at best. Cam is doing well, but even previous picks should have been good enough to roll to other spots on the line to contribute. We need to bring in a few guys who have versatility to backup the starters at a few positions, I don't know that we need to put much into the position right now, considering the payroll demands of LG and C already, and if Cam turns out well, LT in a few years, too.

3) Not as high a priority for me, but maybe a mid-round pick to get a developmental guy in each spot will do.

4) Dave has found talent late or even outside of the draft. I'm ok with the group we have at WR (Dede is starting to take on that go-to persona) or bringing in some undrafted or cheap FA types. We don't need to be throwing deals at guys like Moncrief, though. As long as we identify as a team that wants to establish the run, and rely on the run to win, I don't see us having that deep-threat, passing game weapon at the TE position. Until we fix QB, the WR and TE are not a big consideration in my book.

5) RB: Fournette is a huge question mark. Is the recent call-out the culmination of a number of incidents over the course of the season where he and management are no longer able to work together? Does it convince him to put everything into next season, and prove to the team that he is committed to the franchise? I don't know, and I think a lot of us won't, unless something does happen. I say you keep him at this point, unless someone makes an offer too good to pass up. (I'm thinking a late first for Fournette and maybe our 3rd or 4th round pick, if we are trying to get back into the first for a QB). No way in Hades I bring Hunt in, as he's likely going to be PR ugliness and still subject to discipline by the league once he does get signed. We might see a mid-to-late pick this year to replace Yeldon's spot on the roster.
