Miami, but for reasons that have nothing to do with football.

Sadly that's the case. The Jets actually would be the ideal trade partner. With the 2 pick and the extras, the Texans could draft their future QB or request Darnold as part of the trade or both. Saleh has his QB and is good and has the foundation of a good oline. Those 2 are a perfect trade match. Sadly, here we are with 2 contracts we never should have signed with TB and CMC and are sitting I cap strapped hell when an opportunity really presents itself. Thanks Marty, you're the best.

Who would be poor mans Jimmy Clausen? Brian St. Pierre or Chris Weinke?

Question is what level of first are they expecting. Top 10 pick. Not likely gonna happen. Late teens or 20s maybe. I think Dak and his contract could make things interesting. I expect the franchise tag to be used on him, but if not, well, that’s one more QB into the fray.

I'll say this is purely speculation on my part, but I wonder if he isnt a good test taker. Which is essentially what a job interview is. I know I interview poorly, but put me in my environment in the job and I can walk you through every aspect of what needs to be done.

To be fair to him though, it hard to have a plan when you dont know if you're going to have a QB and the previous coach/GM traded away your 1st. What's he supposed to say? I could build you a winner in 3 years but you've been a fuggin idiot of an owner.

They do, except QB is the most hard to fill position on the field. If you think that the future of your franchise is there at 4, whether or not he sits 2 years, you take him because you dont know when you will have another opportunity. QB is the only position I do that for. Again all of this based off whether or not they think one of those QBs is the guy. Most recent to do it was KC. They moved up and took their guy, sat him a year, and he's the face of the franchise.

It depends on the strategy involved. If you are trying to make a SB run in the next 2 years, then you go defense. If you recognize that 2 drafts isnt enough to turn this team around before Ryan is done, then looking at a QB makes sense. Atlanta is not 1 key defensive piece away from fielding a championship caliber team. They need pieces all over so they would need to absolutely nail the next 2 drafts, which is statistically unlikely, to get there. All the while, Ryan is aging. His milage is limited. Go for it all now and hope that a new coach, relying on key rookie pieces, can get you there in the next 2 years and you swing for the fences, or take your future QB now, set yourself up for the next 10-15 years if he's "the guy" and use all your remaining picks to go for the championship. Its 50/50 which way they go but to consider the future of your franchise is never dumb. It's the one thing Hurney could never do and look at how many winning seasons that got him .

It's not a dumb pick if you think your future QB is there. They know that Ryan is there at least one more year. New coach takes his QB, let's him sit behind Ryan for a year which is not a bad thing, jettison that contract in 2022 and start off with "your" guy.

Better question is, IF the first 4 QBs are gone by 8, who are teams going to trade up for? It's easy to say trade up, but is there someone there that is going to demand the capital required to move up into 8.

I told my wife before we got married the only thing changing was her last name. Marriage is a legal construct, commitment is personal.

Missed. Blatantly ignored. Same thing.

All that hairspray must have gone to his head.

I'm not mad at us for winning. I'm mad at Ron for being Ron.

You can spend all the money you want, it doesn't guarantee anything.

Of course I would rather trade back if we can pick up extra picks. The question is how far do we want to move. 15 is about as far as I want to drop down. Now if I could pull of some first-pick trades and end up with 7 2nds and still have a pick in the first, well then, I might be willing to drop into the late 20s.

I'm not even opposed to Pitts. Watching how Kelce absolutely decimated teams even when they plan for him shows how important that position really is. We have really suffered at the TE position since Greg broke his foot the first time.

So speculation is a first and multiple other picks in 2-4. Hard pass. If were going to spend that many picks take the risk and add a 1st and try and trade up for a QB on a rookie contract.

No. People are pissed because just like always, Ron made no adjustments until it was to late to actually win the game. I'm still not 100% sure he was not trying to tank. That team was not very good and they werent going to go far in the playoffs. WFT needs a QB and moving up from 10 or 11 is a whole lot easier than from 19. I still think its possible Rivera was trying to tank by playing his worst player. Pederson tanking worse bit them in the ass.

I dont necessarily think it will go 4 QBs with the first 4 picks. It could easily when teams start trading looking for a QB. I do think those 4 will be gone by 7. So many teams have QB needs and next years class looks weak overall. So if teams want one, and theres a lot of teams that need one, there will be some movement early and often to get one.

I was trying to using one lame duck coach to describe another.

Some things are never gonna change. It is what it is.

A lot is going to depend on Slater's measurables. His tape from previous season looks really good and he can play inside or out. If he impresses at workouts and really shows up, who knows. Sewell may be there at 8 if Cincy likes what he brings better.

He said in his post game presser his future was "uncertain." Who knows what that means right after losing the championship game.
