This is not shaping up to be a great QB draft, either. Assuming the Texans are way too far out to even consider Mariota, what QB in the draft is worth thinking he'll be better than Mallett in 2015? Not talking long-term, just doubt that a rookie QB will help this team win more than 8 games in 2015.
That's not to say I am opposed to even using a first round pick on a QB, but Mallett probably gives the team its best chance next season at least if he is re-signed. And Savage is under contract, so if he isn't cut, he'll be here too.
Not to turn this into a draft thread, but Connor Cook is someone I want to see more of if he turns out to be draft eligible. If there is not an early-round pick to be had, then Fitz is likely better than most options that will be available on the market this offseason. The Raiders seem to think McGloin is an afterthought. Might be worth a flier to this team next year.
I think a good slot WR will do wonders for this offense, as will a good TE and maybe a healthy and improved XSF. Can't get much worse on returns, right? Add another LB and maybe this can be a 10-win team next year.
