    The rest of this discussion aside, Mett pulling numbers that resembed anything OK is a statement considering how poor, defeated and injured the team around him was last season. If the defense can't get off the field all day it won't matter who the QB is..

    You don't pick a QB in the top 5, just to take a QB. We see that in Jake Locker. It was a reach. You take one that fits your system and can make you better. If they are not 100% sure that QB will make us substantially better than Mett + other pick, you don't do it

    Beside, top 5 qb picks hit about as well as any other spot.

    Selling the pick to the Browns our very best option. Two first this year and a second next. Or first and second this year and a first next.

    Regardless, we need to grab three main positions and get starters.

    LB, OL (tackle) and WR.

    I'd also suggest we find a NT to help that line as well.

    With the 12 pick we could take whichever WR is left, 18th edge Rusher, 33, OL.

    Then we still have our third thru 7th picks with an additional second next year to use as trade bait to move back into the second this year to grab a falling prospect.

    We could grab another Rb/CB in the third, LB again in the 4th. 5-7 qb, ol, cb

    I would much rather us pick the best LB or DL available.....pressure will make our DB's look great.

    A rookie QB will take time to develop (2 - 3 years)....either way there is no quick fix for this team because there are way too many holes.

    OL needs to be addressed as well....Sankey and any QB will play much better with a decent OL.

    Plenty of rookie QBs have come in and been successful right away so I don't agree it's necessarily a 2-3 year project. But even if it is oh well. This entire team is likely a 2-3 year project if we're being honest.

    The QB does not have high value to us. I don't get how you guys don't see the potential in Mett is pretty good. Far better than Marriotta.

    Give Mett a line and add a killer receiver. Our offense will become top 10. The kid can throw darts on those 20 yard routes. Look what he did with Delanie....

    This Wednesday when Webster was asked if he would select a QB with the second pick in the draft, he said. "For us to move forward, the (quarterback position) has to be settled and there has to be somebody there for 16 games that you can build around....Until you get that quarterback position settled, you are swimming upstream."

    2 things seem obvious to me from his statement:

    1. They plan to start their rebuilding process by choosing their QB as soon as possible.
    2. They have questions about whether Mettenberg can be relied upon to stay healthy for an entire season since he had season ending injuries the last 2 years.

    I see the potential in Mett, but he hasn't shown me enough to call him our franchise guy. I think he does have franchise potential. If through the evaluation process you feel that Winston/Mariotta are franchise QBs then you need to take them. This is the best way to try and fix the QB issue. Might it be overkill....sure it could be if Mett turns into the next Brady, but worse case scenario is we then trade them the next yr. If Mett flops then we already have our backup plan in place.

    The QB position is just too important to not have a good backup plan in place.

    Tom Savage could be something. Similar to Mett.
