    They probably won't find that top 15 QB in this draft.

    LG, MLB, FS, LT, WR, SCB. All of those need to be addressed either late FA signing or draft pick.
    I wish we would cut Queen, but maybe after FA/draft they will if they get a potential day 1 starter that is a better FOOTBALL player than Queen.

    We need to get younger. I don't hate what we have ,but we don't have a true number 2, and we need that number 2 to be young so we have a while with him, and Porter.

    And neither is the future.
    We need a real number 2 that will be cheaper, and have a long time to play with PJP.
    I'm not sold anyone we signed is a real number 2 in anything other than name.

    Well see. In the past 10 years several top 15 NFL QB's of significance that were not top 10 picks have been selected.

    Bo Nix, CJ Stroud , Lamar Jackson , and Love come to mind.

    Maybe Dart joins that list next year.

    In 2027 Simpson is 50/50 to join him IMO.

    The QB position is the most important in football.

    Since we do not even a top 25 NFL QB, we should take that chance.

    No one from Navy, we'll have to wait 4 years. Rodger Staubach was drafted by Cowgirls and they had to wait 4 years while he threw passes on an Aircraft Carrier. He was a Nam Vet. Never started in the NFL until 27-28 years old. Well worth the wait as he got them 2 SB's.

    I hope the coaching staff recognizes that the big problem with the run defense was the middle of the dline and not Patrick Queen. We could absolutely improve there but Id put the need in the middle of the dline WAY above the MLB position.

    They did. You’re right.
    Referencing david Robinson, Eddie Myers (Atlanta), napoleon mccallum raiders, etc

    which pissed off regular Navy graduates who sure would have liked to take years off their commitments too

    Your statemeny is partially true, but ILB's have to be able to fill/shed OL quickly and diagnose
    plays at LOS. Neither Peyton or Queen does this. And if they do it is usually 7 yds down field.

    ILB, OL, WR, Slot CB, FS These position are not
    My draft order, just positions that need strengthening.

    What we need is Aaron to stay in his cave all year so we can finally move on to the future with Will Howard or if he sucks a draft pick next year. Another years of Rodgers is just nauseating. This one year stopgap QB carousel will get us nothing more than a WC blowout while hurting our draft position. Embrace the suck unless Will Howard shocks us.

    As for positions we need Left Side OL help another legit WR and ILB help the most.

    Not really, they just need to keep building the rest of the team up until they land a franchise QB.

    a QB....sorry to keep beating the dead horse.....but we will win 9-11 games and get bounced again.

    our QB cannot move.

    he is SMART and has strong lively arm still, but cannot move outside the pocket.

    this will doom us (again) in Jan, like it did this past season.

    I just don't think the D will be top 5 - IF that is the case - IF that is the case, then it may be different. Rodgers can become a GAME MANAGER.

    we will see....

    The Chiefs, Packers, Ravens, and Bills didn't tank, and they were able to draft their franchise QB.

    If the odds on Simpson were that high, he wouldn't make it out of the top 10.
