Been saying it for years now. Would rather have tried it that way than trading ti the 1.1.

Your dreaming. None of those guys you mentioned were signed to challenge anyone. Young would smoke Brissett in a qb competition. Get real dude.

He doesn't suck. But still no thanks. They could use the money more wisely spent in other area's. I think wr is way down on the list of where they urgently need to upgrade.

We're in a unique position where our starting QB is at the bottom end of the league in performance. A backup like Brisset last year would have challenged Bryce for the starting role, hell, he might have taken it given how he performed last year. He wouldn't have challenged a Mahomes or a Burrow, but the need of a QB2 with the potential to be a long term QB1 if need be is now pretty apparent after significant injuries derailed their respective seasons. After we've established our long term starting QB, keep trying to develop a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Don't want to end up in KC or Cinci situation.

Panthers fans will see a guy who had more production last year than all but 1 of our WRs combined and say "no thanks he sucks"

I wouldn't say CB is out of the question at 19. There is one that could still be on their board in the first round. The good thing is they will have options. Unless every single player they like is taken before their pick I think they get who they want.

Day one starter means one of these positions is likely to be the pick in round one: OT (Walker is guaranteed nothing) DT LB FS This puts a little bit of cold water on CB (unless they think a nickel starter is worth a round 1 pick), Edge, and WR. I think it is trenches, either way. DL or OL.

I'm hoping we can make the trip, it all depends on if/when I have to get one of my knees replaced and the subsequent rehab. Regardless, looking forward to getting the info. Finland once again ranked as the happiest country in the world.

This is good to hear on both of these players. I'll take note if they are one of the 30 visits.

Taking late round flyers on qbs is the definition of trying to challenge your backup. If you seriously want to get a backup to challenge your current starter you take one in the first round.

Sign him up!

I'm not speaking about this QB room alone. This needs to be a policy. I've said before as much as I despise Belichek, he always worked on developing a QB2 that was capable of being a QB1. Brady, Cassel, Jimmy G, all backups that became starters for NE or elsewhere. Personally, I'm not a fan of just having a "backup". Every player is one injury away from ending their career. I would much rather be proactive than reactive with the most important position on the field.

Anyone they take in this draft will never challenge Young for the starting role. If you want someone to do that then it will have to come from next year's draft. Anyone taken in this draft will be lucky to make the practice squad.

I don't want either.

The one year contracts are mostly for placeholders until the can draft someone better. Sometimes they get a better FA so they have time to look for a draftee. Case in point, look at the safety we signed from the Raiders. We drafted his replacement the same year in Ransom. Mostly because he was bpa but the rookie needs time to learn from the vet. In time Ransom will take over when Merig is eventually released. There are vets all over the roster that needs a draft pick to eventually replace them.

No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

Lot of different agendas dictating opinions. I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense. They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton. Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can. I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line. Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side. I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.

Haha!!! That's true. Also carry Tomahawks, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, VSTOL aircraft, etc., but none of them clog up the crappers.

The Uber for the Marines.

Even Luke wasn't the best at beating blocks from interior olinemen. His super power was getting to the point before the block got to him.

I agree with protecting the QB. But you have quite a few that won't let the Hunt and Lewis signings go. It was coming off a ridiculously bad performance by offensive guards in 2023. Morgan did the same in for the interior DL in 2025 when they gave up the most rushing yards ever. And again this season with pass rush when they had the worst pressure rate in the NFL.

I feel like this season is already a success no matter how it ends. This team can build of its accomplishments
