Hopefully a desirable QB falls to 30 so we can trade down....

With the Broncos!!!!

How perfect of a situation would that be?

A QB falls to 30 that not only they want, but other teams do as well, and we know Gettleman doesn't like to give up that 5th year option, so he bluffs making a deal with someone else to force the Broncos to swap spots with us and pick up maybe a 3rd round pick or maybe even a 2nd in next years draft.

We can still draft whoever we would at 30, keep the 5th year option, and add a valuable pick at the same time.

That would be my ideal situation for the draft to play out, anyone else on board with this?

Wed actually have to have a deal in place with somebody else for this work. Denver would no doubt ask them about it. 

Not necessarily, all it takes is for us to talk about it with a few teams, Denver will hear about the talks and look to make a move before we can "finalize" anything with them.

I don't think we'd make any of those moves to move out of the first unless we got a crazy deal for it, but the threat would be all that's needed for Denver to explore a swap with us.

I wouldn't be mad about it.  If a team covets a guy like Lynch or Cook and is afraid Denver will take him then they may be willing to give up well above market value to leapfrog the Broncos. The Broncos know this and they may be willing to do the same to ensure someone else doesn't do exactly that.  The Broncos would have the upper hand in negotiations with us because we all know Dave loves his 5th year option.

Think I'd rather see a bunch of Quarterbacks go ahead of us, thus pushing better talent down at other positions.

I guess it's a decent alternative though. Either you secure a guy who fell because of a QB run, or if the run never happens and your top targets are gone you have the trade back option.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

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

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
