Let's draft a hell of an O-Line and Defense over the next 2 years. Then draft Johnny Football.
This is not a statement on Flacco...yet, but I certainly think we need a back-up QB. There are some mid-rounders out there. Several non-BCSers out there.
Need help just about everyfrikkinwhere.
We have 11 draft picks though. Twelve if we trade Ed Dickson (I'm not getting off of that bandwagon, sorry).
We can make a really nice stride this OS, if we draft well and dump our old mens' salaries for a few solid FA signings.
What about getting Chip Kelly as the new HC and install the spread offense, and draft taj boyd to run it?
At this point i think Dickson has more value to us as the #2 TE then for a 6th or 7th round pick. We couldnt possibly expect more then that for him at this point. To his defense he has got better as a run blocker and its not lik e he got a ton of opportunities this year then get's hurt.
I haven't crossed the "Harbs must go" bridge yet, but if I had, I'd support any young, innovative, cerebral, successful coach out there...college or pro.
Kelly is on my list, but Jaws makes some good points here on why the spread might not work

So maybe Kelly running the hurry-up or some spread hybrid would work.
With a low tender on Dickson, anyone signing him would give us a 3rd rounder (since that is the 2010 round in which Ed was drafted).
The Rams could use a TE and with 2 1st rounders, the impact of trading away a 3rd is lessened.
Of course, they could just go ahead a draft Eifert or Fauria in the 2nd.
KC could also use a better target for Geno Smith...especially with their crappy #2 WR production, #1 TE's injury history, and the prospect of not re-signing Bowe. Their 2nd round pick could go to Woods, Hunter, Patterson, whomever. A better move than taking Eifert or Fauria IMO
Joeckel - KO - ??? - Yanda - Oher
Looks pretty nice. Unlikely though.
Ozzie has a HUGE offseason to deal with when this season over.
Depth is a huge...HUGE problem.
