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!

It was 42 seconds, stop exaggerating!!

If Sewell is there and we trade down I might cry a little....

I think she has Mac to the Niners. Was one of the first people to say it.

Most important update on the Falcons, they are still terrible.

Steve Young started for 3 years played poorly and was traded to a new team and found success? Brees and Palmer played well for their previous teams the injury got Brees traded. Tannehill was average with Miami before being traded/signed. Gannon was with the Vikings for 6 years before becoming a journeyman and landing with the Raiders after several teams in between. Don’t know about Johnson or Testeverde??? Is that what we are aiming for?

How does he have better odds than a rookie? A top pick getting traded after 3 bad years has very small odds of becoming a franchise QB?

I wonder what our next option was if someone else got Darnold?

Just posted something very similar. We were hesitant about giving up what little capital we did for him tells me we see the risk that comes with him.

This team was desperate to move on from Teddy which I think we can all agree on. We were all in on Watson, tried for Stafford, and reached out for Russ (just a guess here). After all of this we were hesitant about giving up a future 2nd for Darnold. From the outside I don’t see that as being sure or incredibly high on him. I know they are going to make it seem like he is there guy because that’s smart on the team’s part. I think it was a little desperation after striking out on a few different option. Just my opinion though...

Watson, Mahomes, Murray, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Mayfield, and Stafford are all active young (aside from Stafford) early first round picks with Jackson and Rodgers being later in the first. It’s like all the good QBs aside from Dak, Russ, and Brady. Matt Ryan was also a top pick, but I hate him. Now show me a list of top 3 picks who struggle their first 3 years, get traded and become franchise QBs.

He is saying you can’t go into thinking we HAVE to have this position BEFORE we draft this. BPA is the best way to go while knowing that QB and LT are both still considered needs (along with several other positions). Maybe we have Sewell over Fields, but Fields over Slater. It all just depends on who we like and who is available.
