It's like the time/value of money. $100 now is worth more than $100 next year to most people. A player drafted now will have a year of experience under his belt vs one drafted the following year. I'm not saying I agree with it or it's 100% accurate, but that's where it's coming from. That 2nd from the Darnold trade hurt like a 2nd this past year, not a 3rd.

Check out Max Duggan and let me know what you think. @Icegeposted some good stuff.

He is going to show up with some platform shoes and a bag of McDonalds.

Ok? It's still pure speculation... The man running the show during that terrible time period is gone.

Burns doesn't want to be here? Source? Also Peppers wanted to play standing up in the 3-4 which we didn't run so he went to GB where he could.

Kyle Allen was Baby GOAT for 5 games.

Also the Vikings are looking pretty legit with him right now...

So let's get one THIS year and put an end to the game. It reminds me of "can he play LT?"

The next year's QB class is a game the Huddle has been playing for 4-5 years now....

So not even 2 firsts (the 2nd and 5th more than offset the 3rd and 6th). I know they weren't a year in advance but it seems like good compensation for Burns who is younger but not the force Mack was.

What did the Bears give up for Mack? He was an elite pass rusher at the time…

Our GM only trades down. (Kidding)

It cumulative over the past 3 years. Looks like he comes in at 9 looking at it that way. Staying healthy looks to be a big part of it. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sack-last-3-seasons#:~:text=Since 2020%2C T.J.,most sacks%2C with 38.5 sacks.

Agreed. I think people are looking at what is coming due with him. He is in for a big pay day. Would it make sense for a team like us to max out a player right now when we still need a year or two to make a run? On the other hand how likely is it we replace a top young player at a premium position? It's a good debate.

Looks like he only has one INT on the season? I know he has an awesome WR, but so does Stroud, Hooker and others being considered at the top. Air Raid doesn't bother me as much as it use to. I think NFL teams are incorporating some of that into their offenses these days.

Or after they got crushed by the Niners.

I think Von Miller is on the Bills now, but I agree fug him.

Burns' agent is reading these tweets and thinking about how much money his guy is about to make.

I think people just know we aren’t in win now mode, so building for the future makes sense

Something to think about if we aren't picking the top 2 (which is doesn't seem like we will) then Stroud and Young are probably gone when we pick. We could have a chance at a top pass rusher and then take Hooker/Dugan/Richardson/McCall with one of our second picks. OR we could trade on of those future firsts to move up and select Stroud. If gives more options and our cap will be WIDE open after this year....

Duggan has me intrigued. What's the negatives on him? He has a crazy stat line and apparently runs a 4.5. He is playing decent competition and has beaten a ranked team with a clutch drive. He is like 6'2" which tall enough...

I prefer Stroud, but I think Young has been the best under pressure. I would list that as a strength.

If it was this year's first and next year's I would think about it. It's still tempting....

I hope we can hang on to Campen.
