    A good Secondary and Oline plus a decent RB would transform this team.

    There were plenty of times last season that the D held up and gave the offense chance after chance and they couldn't capitalize. A lot of that I attribute to the Oline, as there was no threat of run and there wasn't a huge need to blitz the porous blocking for Mariota leaving receivers covered.

    RB played a role as none of the RBs stepped up or really had a chance to. Andrews did OK as the lead guy late in the year...but again, better run blocking would have helped but he's not a lead back on most teams.

    Note that these sb teams both have patchwork olines, with apparently great coaching. No matter who fills in they do well, hell most of the best teams in the league have oline "issues". The one thing they all do have is a good qb and a good d. We have a potentially good qb, but our d stinks. We have to improve our secondary in a bad way. I honestly don't see how any fan could be happy with anything but a top notch db in the first round. Ramsey is my top choice, but with a trade back I'd still be happy with vh3 or alexander.

    The good thing about being so bad and having so many holes, is that literally an upgrade at ANY position will help Mariota out.

    Yeah I don't know about that "best since Luck" talk.

    There were a ton of naysayers and "pundits" putting Mariota down. It used to piss me off a but ah... I knew he'd come out and show promise. Came out better than I thought tho I must admit.

    Nevertheless, good points on the draft. I too was salivating at the thought of Tunsil on the left and Lewan on the right but more and more I want to go defense and build around the running game. I mean GOOD LORD Mariota did well against the blitz and in the redzone. Give the man a running game and the team can capitalize on what MM8 is good at.

    he is the only qb to ever throw a pass while one side of the stadium was cloudy and the other side had sun peeking through at the exact same moment a satellite was orbiting over the field during an eclipse that was happening on Pluto.....

    some of the most obscure records ever but ok.... now we just need to turn those into wins.

    Agree on the defense, their 4th quarter meltdowns this season cost us 4 games alone. I would love to get Elliot if he's available in the 2nd round.

    No doubt the sky is the limit for Mariota.. Could be the best QB in the NFL.
