There's 4 of those this year

What happens when we win 7 games with Sam and are picking 11 next year and the top 2 in the draft need a QB and aren't trading out?

Great in theory but draft chart goes out the window when you have multiple teams trying to get there to get a franchise QB. I think the absolute floor for #3 is #9, #39, 2024 1st

I would gladly take Daniel Jones…. For $15M a year to be our vet guy while AR15 develops behind him. $40M+? Hard pass

why not just unlock the original thread where OP was correct and had it first? sketchy... @Mr. Scot

I think this is the way. You have to trust someone falls to 9, which history tells us will happen. Worst case imo is trading up to 5 to take AR or Levis when there is an 80% chance one of those guys will be there at 9 anyway.

honestly, i'd rather that happen. this is one of those years where we will look back in 4 years and the best QB will be the last one drafted of the big 4. Outside of can't miss #1 guys like TLaw, Burrow, Cam, it always goes down that way with QBs.

Zero chance 9 and 39 gets you there when it’s potentially the #2 QB you’re bidding for. Maybe 9 and next year first but I still think you’ll have to toss something else in.

What? He literally said yesterday he wants 35M. That’s like the most reasonable contract out there for a proven consistent starter you’ll find

I'd rather have Richardson at 9 then Stroud/Young at 1 with what it will take. However if things get crazy and Stroud/Young is still there at 5 I think you have to go get him. I think the pre draft is always QB crazy and we know the Colts are stupid so I could see 1) Jalen Carter - Bears: stay put after all the trade back talk and stick to their roots and go defense 2) Young - Texans: Nothing to be said here, best QB in the draft as of right now. 3) Will Anderson Jr. - Cardinals: New defensive head coach and the best player in the draft, prob a no brainer if he's there. Dark horse - Quentin Johnston cause Kyler throws a fit for a new WR 4) Levis - Colts: Do their thing and take the guy who got hot throwing in shorts and t shirts at pro day 5) Stroud - Panthers: First trade of the day, give up one of our 2nds this year, 9 this year, 1st next year and 3rd next year. Alternative - Colts go Stroud and we do the same to move up for Levis (where at that point I'd rather stay at 9 for AR)

Wait why do we have to get to #1

Agree. If Reich ends up being the guy, Carr would be our Alex Smith. 3 years or so to right the ship and then we make a big reach for a QB down the road.

???????

I’d throw up. Fields sucks

Actually now that I think about it, even if we do mess up OC we still have Staley already and Reich is most likely calling plays. This staff is already complete with OC still left to go. Great job by the FO

Shaping up? Man I gotta say unless we absolutely somehow bomb the OC hire it already is the best. Amazing job this off-season.

Why did you conveniently not bold the sentence right after that which said draft whichever is left we like best. You’re still getting a QB in the top 10, all 4 will not be gone by 9

First round QBs are a crapshoot when you don’t have an Andrew Luck or T Law type of guy. Nobody this year is that guy. Stay at 9 and grab who you like best left.

I'd rather AR at 9 than trading up to 1. Would be nice to keep all our picks and still get our guy if the coaching staff likes him. That being said if things get stupid and BY is still there at 3 you gotta go get him

doesn't look great now but have to assume we drop or at min restructure Shaq, he's 10% of our cap alone. CMC is 8% dead. Signing Burns should help. Moton and DJ are our other 2 big hits and I imagine we keep them the same, but Fitt is basically saying they think our time is now so maybe they restructure those too. If we get a rookie QB who we think is ready to come in day 1, I could see us clearing up some space to go get a couple big names in free agency. Cap is also going up $16M this year. We should be able to get to $50M fairly easily without mortgaging the future. If we REALLY get aggressive $70M is doable.

I also hope we don't pick Levis BUT if we do I'll just remember how stupid I thought the Bills were for picking Josh Allen. Or the Ravens for Lamar. NFL QBs are such a crap shoot

I hope we’re already on the phone with Evero

That’s so tough cause we all know Rhule had way more power here than he should have. I’m really interested to see how Fitt is with a real NFL staff

Your point “A” and also Steve Wilks is not a good coach. We just had the bar so insanely low from Rhule that we thought he was good but in reality he is average at best and a good coach would’ve gone 8-4 or better with our roster and joke of a schedule.
