Contrary to some on the Huddle, I would be thrilled to see the Falcons go this route. Lamar will wreck that franchise for many years to come. Do it, Falcons. Please do it.

I know I will get pooed for this but, if the top four are gone at 1R9, take BPA. Trade back up into 1R mid or late round and take Hooker. This seems like a lower risk, high value get at QB. For those who will poo this suggestion, "I am immune to your disdain."

I’m not sure about field vision but, 58:5 indicates he’s pretty good at not throwing interceptions. The best comment I have read on Hooker is that he has beautiful, NFL ready footwork and throwing motion, climbs the pocket well and 58:5. He would not be a bad consolation prize if the top four are gone.

I’d be thrilled if there was a college QB in this draft that is the equivalent of John Stockton, the ‘Silent Assassin.’ Bryce Young may be it.

Or Theisman. Not quite Tarkenton but a reasonable knock-off…

You mean, under the new administration, that we can walk and chew gum at the same time? Who knew?

Is that Russ in the lower right?

It will be gratifying to see Barno and Smith thrive under Evero and Capers. Cade Mays looks like a solid backup, potential starter under Campen. System and coaching have such a huge impact on the trajectory of players.

So, I'll put you down for a 'no' on that. Thank you.

Take BPA at 9, trade back up into mid first and select Hooker. He seems to check many of the boxes that Reich, McCown, Frazier are looking for in that position.

Thanks for the reminder. I just threw up in my mouth a little…

If you gave him ‘I’ and ‘Q’, I have doubt that he could spell IQ…

Same zip code?

Well, let’s suit him up! If Brady…

I’ve already had the conversation with Mrs. Nbrs. When the time comes, I’m going full Yule Brynner / Bruce Willis / Michael Jordan. No comb over for me. Those things are dangerous in a stiff wind. No toupee either.

It really is not very different than a capital investment decision. Project A improves departmental productivity by 5%. Project B improves departmental productivity by 10%. Senior management will approve (sign) only one of the two projects (QBs); which project do you propose to management? So, Project B is the obvious answer because it has twice the productivity gain of Project A, right? Well, no, not really. Project A implemented will cost $100K but has a two-year payback. Project B implemented will cost $500K and has a ten-year payback. You will choose Project A, as it has a higher IRR, faster payback and lower initial capital investment; it's a lower risk, higher return project. Senior management will choose Project A every time, and they are right to do so. Now do the same analysis with Lamar and Carr, using expected output, contract amount, draft picks surrendered and likely maintenance interval (injuries, not available to play). Expected performance is never independent of cost of acquisition and risk of failure.

If not a QB, I would have guessed/bet on a true 3-4 NT, ILB or TE but what do I know... Star 2.0, come on down.

He’s either whiffed completely or is doing some 5G level thinking. Is this OT even a top ten talent? If so, start him at guard (2023) and then move him to RT in 2024 and cut Moton? We have too many other needs to be doing this at 9.

Mocks generate clicks and ad revenue during the slow part of the offseason, up until draft day. Would love to see the social media ‘engagement’ stats and resulting revenue; probably an r squared > .90.

So simple yet, so profound.

I keep pumping Arrrrrnold as a candidate but, no takers…
