People around here hold too much value on a first round pick. You could end up with Kelvin Benjamin, Vernon Butler or Shaq Thompson (not that hes bad, but does he play at a first round level?)

In reality its only 2 firsts because we would most likely be taking a QB at 8 this year. So its like drafting Watson at 8.

Rich Gannon had Tim Brown and Jerry Rice to throw to. Kurt Warner had Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt and Issac Bruce.

All we get out of any draft is one or 2 decent players. People around here put too much stock in a high draft pick. Sure the guy at pick 8 could turn out to be Luke Kuechly, but he could just as easy turn out to be Vernon Butler or Kelvin Benjamin. It’s a crap shoot any way you slice it. I want a team with the balls to take a risk, go all in and go get the franchise, 25 year old, potential Hall of Fame QB that for some crazy reason is now available vis trade. First round picks be damned.

Who released it?

When was the last time a big name player demanded to be traded, and they were not in fact traded? That ship has sailed, it appears this relationship is beyond saving. If there were not going to be a trade, they would not have released word that Watson officially requested one.

Yes. If we could somehow land someone like Stafford and still hold onto our first this year, we would have to seriously think about taking the top LT still available. That or Surtain at CB. Both a glaring needs.

Considering word has come out that he actually requested a trade weeks ago, I think they have probably already identified the team they want to trade him to, and are now working out the fine details. I expect an announcement that a trade has been agreed to very soon. I think the official announcement of his trade request is the marker that things are about to get very interesting. I really do think we have a great shot at landing him.

I have faith that we either land Stafford or Watson VERY soon. One thing is almost certain - Teddy 2 Yards will NOT be our starting QB Week 1 next year.

Off the top of my head, the Packers and Chiefs are the only teams to do this recently, no?

Very few teams actually employ this strategy though. Most go with filling the immediate, glaring holes they have versus drafting a guy who they know will not play at all, especially with a super valuable first round pick.

We invested our entire draft on defense last year, and got some real gems it seems. At some point we're going to have to invest draft capital into the offense.

No Effing way do we take another tweener in the box LB/S, in the same mold as Chinn, with Wilson and Lance still on the board.

I really think Stafford could be an amazing QB on a better offense. He would be in the top of the league in yards and TDs next year if he came here. Dude can really spin it.

It really did wonders to help establish our winning culture.

I was lucky enough to be there in person. Most fun I’ve ever had at a sporting event in my life.

Did you watch Cam play this season? He had like 8 TD passes all season.

That’s why we’re about to get Deshaun Watson. Duh.

Ask AceBoogie apparently they’re close, personal friends.

Shooter!

Because you and him are boys right?

Who the fug is Armando Salgero? And why is everyone throwing in the towel off of his opinion?

Yeah, and that’s it for the last 10 years.

Jets are in no way guaranteed to take a QB. They’ve said publicly that they plan on sticking with Darnold. They could take Sewell at 2.

Yeah that’s because they have one of the best QBs in the league! Having that makes everything else so much easier!!
