Hyatt is a good deep threat, but the funny thing is Tillman was WR1 for UT before the season started. He got injured and Hyatt was a welcomed surprise. I wonder where Tillman is projected…

Plus Harrison got hurt. Stroud had UGA’s number that game. Hard beating them with your top 2 weapons out and a kicker who misses.

Our QB coach agrees with you. He compared Stroud to Burrow in a film session.

Yeah I just know he was battling injuries all season.

I wonder what the chances are of JSN slipping to 39? Keep the teammates together?

So you are upset about Moore?

Then why are you crying about losing draft picks?

Just wait until our roster is done before you get all doom and gloom. Lawrence didn’t look to have weapons early, neither did Burrow.

Yeah that’s it. Our roster is completely done. Free agency hasn’t even started nor has the draft.

Why?

Same. We can get a great WR or TE at 39. I wouldn’t be surprised if we go after a FA TE now though.

Anyone do a health check on @OldhamA?

Yeah cap doesn’t matter to them right now. They need players.

I love keeping pick 39. That’s basically a low first.

I hope we keep 39

I doubt it his rookie year, but he could have us competitive and if he is the answer to our QB problems who cares about the picks we lost?

Do you think Burns is as untouchable as people on here are thinking, or could he be included in a trade up?

Burrow tore his ACL is rookie year so and they finished with a high pick selected Chase. I would argue that we have a better roster than Burrow's rookie year Bengals. It's because we are trading up to acquire the top pick while the Bengals "earned" the top pick that year. Mac Jones was 10-7 in 21 for the Pats and not many rookies started in 2022. The Dolphins won 10 Tua's rookie year, but I think he only played in 10 of those games.

Evero said one of our top defensive players "among others" is a reason he took the job. I mean that makes sense, but I seriously doubt he was promised Burns would be here for the long haul... If we already had Burns' contract laid out that would be a different story. Evero would still have Horn, Chinn, Brown and many of the "others" on that young defense. Plus he will be involved in free agency and replacing a player like Burns if he is traded. Which was equated to Teddy, Sam, and Baker all failing. Teddy wasting money, Sam wasting money and picks. Fitt has said multiple times that draft your QB is the ideal way to do it. One could argue Rhule refusing to draft a QB early is what cost him his position ultimately. Burrow was drafted, Allen was drafted (traded up), Mahomes drafted (traded up), Herbert drafted it's how teams acquire young QBs. Rams traded for Stafford and I get they won it all, but now are interested in trading him, Broncos traded for Russ and we see how that went, Geno was a nice pick up for Seattle but they are still looking at QBs in the draft and have his contract structured where they can ditch him after this year. We can keep trying to "think outside the box" or take on other team's castoffs but at the end of the day you have to eventually draft your QB. We did it in 2011 and it worked very good, let's do it again.

If we get the QB right we should have some actual cap space in 24 to offset the lost of our top pick. We have a great staff, usually when you add a good QB good things happen.

Depends on our schedule and how quickly Reich and co can have our QB ready. If we get Bozeman back there is no doubt we can "run" over bad teams like we did with Wilks. We were what 6-6 with Wilks bringing it back to basics? In theory we should be better than Wilks/Darnold with Reich/Stroud. I understand it may take a minute for the rookie to get up to NFL speed, but if Stroud or whoever it is looks the part we won't be concerned with our first round pick next year.
