Howard and Tunsil are all we need to get Lawrence in 2021. You dont ditch an elite LT, but if it meant trading him to a poor team in the Top 3 who needs an LT, in exchange for swapping 1sts....tough call.
Or, you trade 2022 and 2023 1st rounders.
Theres no need to tank.
KC was a playoff team before Mahomes was drafted though. Roll with Fales or Falk and see if you have a competent backup. Draft BPA in 1st Rd 2019 or trade down. get in on the 2020 QB draft class.They didn't tank in KC and ended up with Mahomes.
Good teams don't build a "losing" culture.
If Murray falls to 13 - grab him and build an OL. You will know if you have your QB.
If he isn’t the guy, well there is suck for Sunshine in 2021.
Regardless/ clean out these bad contracts.
Hoops - main reason-
He’s smallish - your OL must be in sync and ready to roll bc a SS coming from the edge around a DE may break the kid in half.
You have to protect the asset.
I don’t think we picked up a DL stunt all year lol. So I get your point- he will help your OL. He will actually make their job easier given pocket presence and feet but I’m concerned given his frame.
Also your OFF will be shotgun and pistol based. You better have some athletic guards that can pull and get downfield.
I don’t see how you go into 2019 with the same OL even given Sitton return.Jess Davis can pull and is athletic. Pull work might be what he does best. Brendel can pull and is an athlete. Josh sitton space work may be his lowest grade of late cause his hands get wide outside the frame work of his body.
My guess is they resign Ja’Wuan James and if they draft Murray they say we’re good on the o line for 2019 status quo.
The qb will offset the rest of it.

Draft a Guard. Davis becomes swing Guard.
Have to sign a Center.
Always play to win. You can't purposely lose for any certain players. No player is a guaranteed success in the pros and even if they were they could tear a knee or something to pieces the last game of their college and never be the same. You can go younger but you still need vets on the team also for leadership and other things but you always play to win.
Just draft better and put a coaching staff in place that knows what the hell they're doing. And there's no reason this team won't be better next year than this season. There should hopefully be a good draft class to fill some holes and the young players from this season....Fitz, X, Baker, McMillan, Gesicki, etc, should be much improved with more experience and we'll get playmakers like Wilson, Grant back on the field. If we can find a competent qb like Foles, Flacco, a rookie, or whoever, and the coaching is improved...which I don't see how it couldn't be, then this team can compete for the playoffs next season as well.
