If we draft one, I'm not sure it will be with an early pick now. QB at 1 and probably WR at 39. Third will probably look at defense. We will probably add RB/OL depth in the 4/5 rounds. It looks like Thomas is stuck on our roster due to his dumb contract so it's Hurst, Tremble, Thomas as the main TEs. Maybe Reich and co can have Thomas and Tremble looking better?

Awesome! Hopefully he wasn't too expensive. I wonder what releasing Ian Thomas does to our cap?

Kind of my thought too. I think he openly talks about who he likes, but has generally let the staff draft the players. I think he liked Fields and let Rhule take Horn for what it’s worth.

Same here. Would love Stroud, but would be happy with Young.

Damn this thread. I thought something happened…

He has been relatively positive about our new staff. Cautiously optimistic might be a good way to describe it.

lol so glad we are not part of this.

Whoever we draft at 1 is more than likely starting week one. Dalton is our backup who can come in and manage a game or two if our starter goes down. It’s a logical not expensive option for a backup.

Agreed, but it’s hard to tell until we see the whole trade package. Regardless I think we stay at 1 (maybe 2) and take Stroud/Young.

I think AR or Levis would be in a scenario where we trade down a couple spots.

I think he is talking about clearing up money. Hopefully the signings will follow...

I'm ok with any of the top 4. I prefer Stroud, but I work in accounting and have zero scouting experience. I'm more excited about what this staff can do with any young talented QB.

Yeah I think Stroud is better than Young in the pocket and Young is better than Stroud when a play breaks down. I just lean Stroud because of the size concerns. Both look to be great choices though.

That's why their hired his guy Hackett as the OC.

He is just getting his buddies paid before he retires.

Remember when he was traded the article had Elf's picture instead? I can only assume his headband was the confusion because outside of that they look nothing alike.

I thought we already traded CMC????

Damn that would have been a great addition for our rookie QB....

You gave a whole spill about how Corral and Levis elevated smaller schools with lesser talent and that's how you know they are great. Do you remember this?
