Unless things drastically change. At the minimum, this team is picking inside the top five next year in April. Should give you a shot at your pick of the litter with the OT position or CB position. For me, you either get the LT from Texas, the LT from LSU or Travis Hunter out of Colorado. 

Hicken was mentioning Sanders at QB and Beck at QB. No thanks. On both of them. Sanders in Colorado is already showing you that he can't do much neither unless his pass protection is top notch and his running game is there. Against ranked, quality teams, he's not impressive. I am a Bulldogs fan.

I'll flat out tell you. Not a fan of Carson Beck. Not a believer in him. I fully expect Alabama to thump their gourd's this Saturday and they'll fall out of the top five where they belong. Georgia plays nobody all year, and when they finally play a remotely decent football team? They play down to their level or [BLEEP] the bed. 

You're tied to Lawrence for five years on paper. Unless you're wanting to trade him away and willing to start over again. I am honestly against that. I would rather start over with a new VP, GM and HC, get the offensive line fixed, toughen up philosophically and try and salvage what's left of Lawrence. Maybe get a decent little Alex Smith type run out of him like the 49ers did and Chiefs did.

You take the full dead cap hit if you trade him.  It's not feasible until 2026 and even then it's an $88.5M hit, so still very unlikely until 2027.  But this is absurd to even fathom regardless.  There have been issues all around him these first 3 games.  You don't talk about trading the guy you just extended this offseason 3 games in where the ball is not bouncing your way AND guys are dropping passes that hit them in the hands on offense and missing assignments on both sides of the ball.

Gabe Davis and Arik Armstead both look like poor signings to me so Baalke looks like he'll finally get the axe by year's end for not addressing the o-line like many of us have mentioned for the past couple of years.  Rauscher probably needs to be let go assuming they have someone that can step in for him.  Either way, I give the bulk of this staff and front office until mid-November to see if they can get the team healthy and motived to dig themselves out of this mess and then start firing people when they don't and get a jump on the new HC/GM searches or bring in an EVP and let him get started on that.  Trevor is not going anywhere this year or next though.
