Getting out in front of it

All that is important this offseason is getting the QB that can lead this franchise out of QB hell and into perennial playoff contention once again.

Agree that getting our young QB is priority #1, but fixing the OL has to be 1B. If the OL continues to play like it did this year then it won't matter who the QB is.

This probably wouldn't go over well, but bringing in Carr wouldn't be a bad idea IMO if there is a lockdown LT available with our 1st rounder and a mid round QB who Ballard likes that we could draft (Duggan, O'Connell, etc.) and develop behind Carr.

It would be ideal to get a lockdown LT in this years draft and draft Williams next year, but as others have stated chances are pretty slim there.
