note that ncfan was the 1st to predict we would go after Daryl Williams

ncfan:

"would rather see us go out and get a solid LT in the 1st. A Good #2 WR in this deep WR pool in the 2nd. Then get a Road Grading Mauler RT like Daryl Williams in the 3rd."

ncfan:

"3rd R: Daryl Williams- Looked good at LT vs Alabama last year but will be a RT in the NFL. Kid can open some holes in the run game and a solid pass blocker."

ncfan:

"3rd R - Daryl Williams: good pass blocker for a RT, had a GOOD showing at LT vs Alabama last year. Good run blocker. Future is RT in the NFL but can play LT if needed. Again better than any OT on our current roster."

Not a big fan of trading away picks, but this draft was an exception. We had more picks than we could sign (with UDFAs still to go). And every trade has catapulted us up the draft board--solid value with that. Getting players we otherwise would not get. And outside of the OT, we're getting players that we don't need immediately, giving them time to grow within the system while contributing to ST in the meantime.

The way the picks fell it's almost as if GMan saw the future because damn...literally every pick in every round that I would have done were gone before our slot...so with his super powers he seemed to know that his picks would be gone by the 25th in each round and was like fug it I'm going in.

 

For those mad at these trades....literally just look at each round and how it fell....almost literally every pick anyone wanted has been gone before our selection in each round...I dare say we HAD to move up to get these guys.

He should compete to start at RT right away. The fact that he's going to get work at LT shows that we thinthink he might have potential there. Very good pick. Maybe my favorite pick of the draft so far. Really thought that with this OT class we might wait until the 4th or 5th to take one.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
