Unless....

I’m torn on this. Seems like he needs more reps to be taken at 8, but his potential is off the charts!

Slater over Sewell? Really? I just like Sewell because I feel like he is such a natural LT.

I agree, but maybe the think the drop off from Slater (Sewell probably won’t be there at 8...) and the round 2 LTs isn’t as big as from Chase/Waddle/Smith and the next tier of WRs. Not saying it’s right, but that could be a thought process...

Any idea/guess as to how our board looks. I’ve heard Pitts is at the top?

Look no further than Fields lighting up Clemson who is on par with OSU for talent. Lance struggled this year against a team with less talent (to be fair it was the only game they played and I’m sure there was some rust).

It’s risk/reward. There is no such thing as a guaranteed franchise player in the draft, no matter how high we are on a prospect. We may feel that no rookie is worth 3 first round picks. Watson before the legal issues maybe, but no unproven rookie. If that player falls to 8, it is much less of a risk than 3 first rounders. Like someone already said, if he struggles we won’t be set back for the next 2 years with a first round pick.

For 3 first round picks? If he falls to us at 8 (not a trade up), it’s too good of an opportunity to pass up. I don’t think he will be there, but if we let a future second round investment keep us from drafting a potential franchise QB I’ll be a little concerned...

2 years at $7 million is great! It’s up to our coaches to put him in a position in succeed. He has shown he is capable just a year ago.

If Fields is there do we take him?

Fields and be thrilled.

I mean yeah. Did we really think that next year’s second plus a couple late picks was the absolute cure for our QB position? If a talent falls you take him. If he and Darnold look good, trade one next year for a ransom. It’s too important of a position to simply roll the dice on QB who has struggled and assume we are good.

Trask will be there and no one should take him in the first...

If we want a weapon there is no need to trade up . Four QBs should go before us (maybe 5) that leaves Chase, Smith, Pitts, and Waddle.

It’s all smoke to encourage the Falcons to draft Pitts and pass on Fields.

Let’s hear who you want at 8.

Fields played Indiana, Northwestern, Clemson, and Alabama with constant games getting moved/cancelled, staff/players getting quarantined and playing through injuries. He is the most battle tested QB out if the major ones we are talking about. I honestly put him right there with Lawrence talent wise plus he is an extremely smart man. Check out Mark Sanchez’s info on his testing, it’s a good read. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/justin-fields-did-insanely-well-aptitude-test-mark-sanchez-says%3famp He really should be the 1st or 2nd pick. If he some how falls to 8 I hope we pull the trigger.

If we get Pitts, my expectations for Darnold will be higher. Pitts, Moore, Anderson, CMC should be a top offense in this league based on potential...

I. Fields 2. Sewell 3. Pitts 4. Lance

I doubt Pitts will be there, but if he is I have no problem taking him. LT should definitely be round 2. Pitts with CMC, DJ, and Anderson would be insane!

I GUESS we will do that...

I’m a realist about it. I would like to see an improvement from his year 2 stats (his best season). A good bit over 3000 yards with at least a 2/1 TD to INT ratio. I would love to see a clutch play or two with the game on the line.

Shhh, don’t tell Denver.,,
