Quote:But that's the thing.

 

What part of the screw ups are inexperience and what part is a lack of talent?

 

Let's play out a hypothetical.

 

Suppose we end up with the top overall pick. 

 

To me, the inclination would be to trade down and get a boat load of picks for Mariota.

 

Do we not take an OL in the draft and gamble that all of the problems with the OL are strictly experience based?

 

What about the secondary?

 

that's the million dollar question.

 

Personally, I think the only rookies we can "count" on are  Bortles, Robinson, Lee, and Linder.  I know Lee hasn't done much but he was a high 2nd round pick which tells me they will count and depend on him whether he performs or not.

 

I'm not sold on Bowanko nor Allen Hurns.

 

I would continue to play them and hopefully they all develop into something.  

 

In next year's draft, I would continue to look at offensive lineman - at all of the positions.  I wouldn't mind adding a road grader like Tre Jackson from FSU for example.

 

Literally the only position I would skip in the 1st round next year would be QB.  (in the top 5).....

 

Outside the top 5 or 10 (in case we trade down), I would be open for any player that we feel is a legit superstar in the making, from LT to RT, C, G, RB, DE, MLB, OLB, CB, FS, etc etc etc
