Everyone likes to throw out the "trade down" scenario every season without regards to the fact that someone actually needs to want to trade up.  And in most years, it is nothing but a pipe dream.  However, with Denver being right behind us and definitely needing/looking to draft a QB, we are in a prime position for a trade back.  Someone in the early second round will want to move ahead to get a QB if one is still there.

I actually like this scenario this draft for us.

Also, that Gettleman has said he'd rather have "a buck instead of two dimes" or something. He has repeatedly said that he doesn't believe in trading down. Now I do believe he would trade down if there was a ridiculous offer, but those are really rare. A QB available in front of Denver could elicit that kind of offer, but I think a team could probably give up less and move up to the Cards or Chiefs spot instead of trying to get Gettleman to budge.

In lieu of trading down, perhaps he could be enticed to trade the pick away if he got a future first in return which would almost certainly be higher than 30 next season.

Sadly, unless Marty Hurney got a GM job somewhere else, that's not an easy thing to get.

If he's worth picking near the top of the 2nd round, he's just as worth picking with the 2nd-to-last pick of the 1st round.

Maybe we should trade that first rounder away and grab an early 2nd and an additional pick down the road?

The problem is that an unless it's an out of the park offer it's probably not worth it to lose the 5th year option that comes with 1st round picks and move back. It would have to be an early 2nd and an early 3rd or 4th for me to even consider moving down 3-5 spots and I doubt anyone is willing to give that up unless a team is desperate to get ahead of Denver for a QB.

I can think of several WRs I'd rather have who might be around in the second. A WR who is quick but not fast or physical with a small catch radius is super easy to acquire. The draft will be full of them. You want someone special in the first or second, but in G-man I trust. Maybe he just wanted a better look in case he fell.

If you don't think he's physical, you may want to actually watch him play at some point.  He's not Smitty fast, but 4.48 is some decent speed.

I've seen the usual youtube highlights but that doesn't reveal a lot. He doesn't stand out to me, but if you like him more power to you. Looks like the kind of guy who is going to get jammed, and covered like a blanket without separation, and his catch radius is pretty small. Not good. He'll get open the way Philly Brown likes to get open, using agility not pure speed. He's a change of direction guy, all about quickness. You can get that later in the draft. Not really a big deal. Just my opinion.

A Benjamin-Funchess-Shepard WR core would be the holy Gman trilogy.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
