Was a beast on the field.

Well if it's Bryce Young they're after we're definitely trading up. I also thought it was interesting that he mentioned QBs coming in "all shapes and sizes." Seems to indicate Young as well.

Pretty sure this is my masterpiece...

A full 1st round mock I just did with a few trades included: - Colts trade up to #1 for Will Levis. - Panthers trade up to #5 for C.J. Stroud. - Packers acquire #7 from Raiders in Aaron Rodgers trade. - Bucs trade up a few spots to take Anthony Richardson. - Vikings trade up to #20 to take Lukas Van Ness.

Straight up? Yes. Then use #9 to draft the best edge rusher on the board.

Wanted to go more offense-heavy but the value on defense in the 2nd was too good to pass up.

Yeah, I could see him playing either and he gives us that versatility regardless. But he's probably better suited as a 5-tech as his base position. Not a bad problem to have, figuring out where to put a talented player.

I'm not sure McShay liking him is a good thing.

We can make it work. Burns and Luvu on the edges with Derrick Brown as a 5-tech. We'd need to find another 5-tech and a nose tackle but that can be done in free agency. Just having Burns play edge in this scheme is going to be worth it, IMO. And don't underestimate Frankie Luvu either.

Mike Gesicki is my #1 target. I think he could blow up in our new offense if we can get a QB. His stats don't tell the whole story in Miami.

Oh, absolutely we'd have won the NFC South; and then lost in the first round of the playoffs to a team with an actual franchise QB. Winning the division is meaningless if we don't have a legit shot at getting to a Super Bowl and winning it. And we're not doing that without a franchise QB. I'm not content with just competing for the division or a wild card spot every year; I want to win fuging Super Bowls and be in that mix every year. The only teams that do that are the ones with franchise QBs. Draft picks are only worth what value you get for them, and what is more valuable than a franchise QB?

What options? Carr? Ryan Tannehill? Jimmy G? That's the team-building equivalent to running a prevent defense with 2:00 left in the 4th quarter when you're up by 2.

Ok, let's just re-sign Sam Darnold and call it a day.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Good news. That means Brian Burns might be worth the contract we're about to give him after all.

Lord have mercy.

I still like Bryce Young better overall, but I'd be ecstatic with Stroud as well.

I'd honestly be fine with giving up our 1st rounders in '24 and '25 as part of a deal. Gotta have that QB.

Well worth it in order to land a franchise QB.

I don't mind the contract or the compensation; he's well worth it if he's healthy. It's the injury history that bothers me.

This is probably my favorite mock so far:

I'd still rather draft Young or Stroud.

I don't buy the Raiders as a major threat to draft a QB. I feel like they're going to sign a veteran - probably Jimmy G. - in free agency.

In a fuging heartbeat.
