right now, but if he throws well....Look, I agree with you, but we have both seen second rounders (in our view) get taken in the first round (Penix, Richardson, Pickett, Levis, etc) when they had the same kind of flaws. Personally, he has all the traits of a QB that flounders in the NFL--the experience, the inconsistency, etc. These qbs who play with leads 95% of the time, have better OL and better WRs that the opposition's DL and DBs---(bryce falls in this category) Maybe a team that wants him will trade up with us.

I think Kiper has talked about Simpson to the Steelers (around 21). However, I think everyone is saying this based on the dearth of QB talent and that Simpson, who is throwing, knocks off some socks. I could see him going to a Pittsburgh or LAR in the first round--- I could see teams grabbing him a round before he should go--we are talking about QBs. Is he better than Kenny Pickett? I think he went around 20.

After the combine, he will be mocking around 10

THIS^^^^^^^

In fact, I had forgotten that he is still on. He proves that nice guys don't always finish last. I respect him

I look at the QB situations in Miami and Arizona--and do not see bryce rising above that. If Simpson is there in the first--do you pull the trigger?

This has to be the year--and I think there are some good QBs whose stock price is beaten down in the draft--I am guessing there is one they like on day 3. But this pamper Bryce mentality has to end before he gets a big deal--take off the training wheels and have a Plan B.

He had an Achilles injury in 2024. Smart player. Good pass protector. had a down year in 2025. Has never played between two guards like Lewis and Hunt--should cost under $8m. At 28, he has 5 years left. I am not against it if we can get him for about $5m per.

interesting point. going to think about it because I have not up to this point.

I think Dan realizes we no longer need an older brother--we need a competitor.

Based on Morgan's comment about "cannot have enough pass rushers" I would say, if we sign a veteran, Edge is still on the table. Of course, we would then go LB, OT, or...............WR in the first round. I am still not confident that WR is out of the question.

I think it is important to have a few veterans to go along with our second-year players. Here is what AI thinks: "Following his expected 2026 release from the Miami Dolphins, 29-year-old pass-rusher Bradley Chubb is projected to land a contract in the range of $12–14 million per year. Despite recording 8.5 sacks in 2025 after a torn ACL, his age, injury history, and a below-average 11% pass-rush win rate in 2025 indicate he will likely take a pay cut from his previous $18.2 million average. I think a 3-year, $38m deal would work." I am back: Expect a better year in 2026 than 2025.

Bryce's size is not as big an issue now as it will be when he demands $50m per year. Then you can't afford an OL that makes $100m and WRs with $20m+ contracts. Not when you consider the Brown and Horn contracts on defense--before you pay your edge rushers....Da maff ain't gonna add up. That is how having a Hobbit at QB is going to cripple the roster.

I think a T is a must. I read that they were going to let Nijman and Mays test the market--bold move--unless they feel good about the draft pool. An OT who can hold it down as well as Nijman, who could play RT in the future (or allow Ickey to move to RT, etc). I think this is a good draft at OT (I have read some who disagree) and C. Wonder if we go Edge (a third down speed rusher) and LB in free agency and draft OT, C, WR, and S? Man.

Was that photo taken at South Mountains? I used to see him up there on occasion.
