Why? We have years to wait for the QB. Three most important positions, LT, QB, sack artist. We wait years for one, but not the other two. I guess, for me, sign FA who do the meat and potatoes work. Draft the players who are gonna be cornerstones. Let them develop. Resupply every few seasons and keep filling in the right guard and the nickel back and centers etc. Best to draft them all but practically, you can’t

I generally agree, but Cam Newton may not. There are all kinds of ways if you know your talent.

They have been in three straight years. And advanced today. Remember Jake Delhomme? PS the bizarro world method is to surround a sub marginal QB with weapons, that he can’t fully utilize, and let the defense go to hell.

They thought keeping Burns over Moore was the play. From what I heard, because this QB can turn marginal players into functional weapons. We won’t miss Moore… wait and see. Then it was kind of, oh poo we are have to tear our defense down and use every stick and brick we have left to help our QB not bust out.

They can play defense.

Did not have to change anything for the next level.

That is possibly fortunate and allows us to react more aggressively. I kind of feel like BPA within a subset of positions is good enough unless the value is insane like Luke was. In this situation I feel like reaching a few slots won’t kill us. Plus Dan seems to be pretty good at trading back.

So… do they still work? The thing about that pain meds and like.. that novocaine cocktail, masks real damage being done. Or will mask it

Hey, what can it really hurt to look? If we were willing to look at Bryce in terms of the 1.1, anything anywhere in any round should be fair game.

I mean, I’d be saying yes, give it to me. You have to wonder how many of these major career ending gruesome injuries were suffered after taking the contents of a syringe. They can’t feel it and wham, they just broke it. And I doubt Ronnie Lott let them chop off his fingertip or whatever, without having a liberal dose of whatever (that was RonnIe Lott, right?).

It’s all the good poo too. I feel like Stafford was dosed at halftime. What broken finger?

NFL is such a hypocritical entity. How many guys are they injecting with narcotic like stuff to allow them to suit up but God forbid you flirt with your female employees or write private emails that dis sexual deviation from the mainstream. Private emails. I am no big Gruden fan, but I wonder if he will ever get back in. JR never will.

My ears are up. Listening. Bryce is pretty much the anti proto, and I like the prototypes. if you are gonna fail at least look good doing it.

If you don’t mind them hanging in strip clubs and throwing a dancer girlfriend on a pile of unloaded weapons you can get them in the 6th or 7th round. And I am one of those guys that that can deal with that.

Do it. Do it until you get it right.

You are likely correct. Maybe it will be the replacement that is the gem. Just saying we have found some assets through that resource. And I likely won’t know the replacements any better than this bunch.

so true.

I was a Darnold and a Stroud guy. So my mind would be at peace. edit: the is the really fuged up part of it. Had we shown Darnold the patience and made the investment in Darnold vis a vis the players around him that Bryce was given, we might be where the Seattle team is.

Lol. 41 of 41. Sorry Bozo. I would really want to be hooked up with his agent if I were an NFL JAG.

Yeah I was gonna say, I am so surface level anymore I don’t know hardly any of these players. What I will say is Morgan or the scouts seem to have a knack for finding some gems every so often. Maybe one or two of these guys is a gem.

Tepper. He strikes me as when he is in your corner, because he thinks you can help him, he is a staunch supporter. A rock. But if he stops believing, your ass is gone.

Have to agree. Wait for a couple more QBs to rise and the two or three annual combine risers, then look at it. But I want a MLB or ILB too. I value them higher than the current cognoscenti seem to.

I do too. The CEO leader, the idea guy that knows where to go how to get there, how to motivate people, all that stuff. We have seen great coordinators be crappy head coaches. One of the earlier examples was Buddy Ryan. But there are dozens of examples of it over the years. Generally it is a different skill set, and the NFL seems to like that Peter Principle thing of promote people who are great at one job into a bigger job that they haven’t demonstrated any aptitude for. Only a few wunderkinds out there and people try to replicate that, chasing the trend, but they don’t have a wunderkind that can handle all of it and be good enough at all of it. We might be dealing with that here right now, minus the greatness. Just good at coaching QBs. Not great And not great at coordinating like these other people that have demonstrated it over years. At the same time is showing potential for HC.

Well, cornerback could be another on that we have to act on. 2 concussions in the same year for Horn, worrisome. We could have lost 2 1st round entrenched starters forever in that one damn game. That is possible.

To look at it without any empathy for Icky, pure business, this may have saved us money but cost us a first round pick. We should not be putting any 100 million offers on the table, so there is 100 million that can go elsewhere.
