Why are we drafting a guy number 1 overall that needs to sit and seasoning?

What recent QB has benefitted from sitting?

The most recent one he drafted.

So we probably should have drafted the next best player available considering we have two of the best guards in the league on long term deals. What’s the plan for him?

I said BPA. Not BPA at a position of need.

Can we really prove that it benefitted him? How do we know he wouldn’t have been just as good starting last year? He can say it benefited him, but Russell Wilson didn’t need a year to start his greatness and neither did majority of the good to elite qb’s. His preseason numbers indicate he was already a good qb.

And that’s a direct mistake by the gm, we didn’t need another guard.

Disagree on both. If you plan to lean on "Mahomes could have done this last year" in spite of what his actual words were and plan to assert your draft philosophy as the best one, we're done here.

No, but when those 2 are on long term deals it’s an indictment of misusing resources, which is what a lot of us have been saying from the time the pick was made

So what’s the plan for Corbett? He’s a 6th lineman his rookie year getting a few snaps a game and then next year he gets moved to center? We should be shooting for more with the 33rd pick IMO than a red shirt center

And Bitonio has been very clear since Joe retired he did not want to play tackle So if the plan was Corbett would be a guard and Bitonio the tackle long term then it’s just ignoring the guy saying “I don’t want to do this” which I’m ok with, but at the end of the day we caved on it anyway

The whole using high draft picks to sit and replace vets gives me nightmares of Ray Farmer. The plan works for mid and later draft picks, but I would hope for players that can make an impact right away with those high first and second round picks. Not that anyone could be as bad as Farmer was, but it still left a scar.

Chad Thomas reeks like an Alonzo Highsmith product. It's Dorsey's job to vet him, so he's not absolved of responsibility.

I think this is my biggest gripe with every regime change. The choice to pick their guys over useful player and hurting the depth of the team. I think that happen alot on the d-line this year.

Depth is just as much a problem with this team as starting talent for the last couple years. The drop off in talent from our starters to our backup has been like falling off a cliff. In the preseason I thought that changed but with Dorseys quick trigger to get rid of guys and wanting to get his own picks in, I think it came back fairly quickly.

When I look at the depth chart, there aren't too many spot where if a rotation player is injured, I could say the backup is truely replacement level talent.
