Quinn Ewers or Carson Beck?

I think we’re going to need to exercise some patience when it comes to getting a QB in the draft. It’s rather clear that Carr is not the long term answer and never was. And it seems clear that the 2025 draft is not rich in QB talent. So, let’s stick with Carr until there’s a better draft class for QBs and not get obsessed with mediocre QBs in the draft. By the way, we already have two late round QBs, so there’s little merit in drafting another one of those.

What needs to happen in my view is that the rest of the team needs to be shored up. On offense, that means better guard play, which can be addressed in later rounds. Let’s get a tough WR like CGM in his prime. And let’s get a TE that’s at least a viable blocker. Provide Carr and his successor with the weapons he needs.

On defense, a NT, an edge rusher, a CB, a safety. Safety and CB can come in later rounds. NT and Edge need to come from higher rounds.

Some of these needs can be met in free agency, but not many due to the cap limitations. And this can change due to fifth year options and the like. Eight picks in the draft should provide a good opportunity to meet these needs, so long as the trade-up mania doesn’t continue.
