I’d be very happy with any of those 4. We just need Lance to get drafted ahead of us and one should fall to 8 with Lawrence, Wilson, Mac, and Lance being the other 4.

It may be the best chance to trade down for a nice haul if he is.

This might be too good to pass up. My initial thought is there is two good QBs next year in Rattler and Howell, but I don’t see us being one of the bottom two teams. The cost to move up to get one is ridiculous. The extra capital now in a deep draft is huge and we can package our two firsts to trade up next year if needed.

Yep if a high valued QB became randomly available you know we would be all in on him. If Watson’s legal issues were proven to be illegitimate (don’t see this happening) and he was cleared we would be right back on board trying to get him. A future 2nd is a small sunk cost to upgrade your QB.

Very high on Newsome!

Wait? He told me he was working late again?! That bastard!

Because our secondary was that bad.. these guys are at least capable. I think Bouye will be solid. He had some injuries and was getting a big salary plus had a down year. He looked legit in Jacksonville as the number 2 CB just a couple years ago.

Sources are telling me we are just bypassing the draft to help make sure we get a top pick next year.

Bouye, Melvin, and Jackson (being healthy) should help some. Plus Chinn and Pride having more experience.

Neither at 8. Trade back then sure. I want an potentially elite high valued position at 8. Especially if 5 QBs go ahead of us.

I’m warming up to Slater. He just needs to be a definite LT. I don’t want us drafting a Guard at 8...

Yeah if a team is picking this high and doesn’t have an established franchise QB, they should always be considering drafting one, especially if one they like falls to them.

You take Fields and let him compete. Honestly if there are 5-6 prospects our staff values high when we are up, then you look at trading down a few spots. We addressed a lot of needs (LT and QB are still shaky at best) in order to draft BPA/trade back if needed.

He has a catchy name. I’ll give him that...

Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson’s stock fell in the draft. We are talking about a QB at 8, it’s not that huge of a drop IF he is even there. 8 is earlier than Mahomes and Watson were drafted not too long ago. I agree on not being sold on Darnold, he was a turnover machine in college and continued this trend in the NFL (granted it was in a tough situation). Also only 2 teams are going to make the Super Bowl. If Darnold is good enough to consistently get us to the playoffs (which I’m pretty skeptical of) that’s a good place to be. Hell we are just trying to have back to back winning seasons for the first time in forever. Win a couple games and suddenly were are in the big game again.

Maybe or maybe they want a long term deal with Moore or maybe they will let him go. Rhule specifically said “we haven’t done anything with that yet” when asked about Darnold’s 5th year option. There was no we are going to soon or we plan on it. I think they are waiting to see how the draft falls... Just my opinion though.

I mean there is probably a reason we haven’t picked up Darnold’s 5th year option yet...

Might not be a bad spot to trade back a few picks?

That can be a scary illnesss to have. Hopefully he will outgrow it like predicted. Makes you also wonder what happens if/when he gets a concussion...

Haha yeah it was bad. It’s like it has never happened before so he just started naming random QBs “off the top of his head”

Wait are we allowed to draft a CB with a need still at LT? Asking for a friend...

I’m surprised!
