Hypothetically, How many spots would next year’s 3rd move us up in the 2nd this year. 

  Those are the players I want but like others am leery of losing a top 100 pick to do it. I think there will be very good WR/RB/TE options there at 85 and 88.

I don’t think Penny last that long, and I rather keep the picks

This ^  Also we have too many needs to be giving away top-100 picks, especially to move up in the second for a safety.  

Bates or White + Sweat or Hamilton or Thomas over just Reid.

On top of the fact that, after this draft, there will still be a sh1t-ton of competent safeties available in free agency that are desperate for a contract.

  And not one of them can provide even decent ability in coverage from the FS position. Something this team has lacked for a long time. Signing one of them for SS and getting rid of Adams and/or Searcy would be great. But we need an upgrade in range and athleticism at FS in the worst way.

And a 2nd round rookie is a stone-cold guarantee?  One you've flushed a top-100 pick for?

No one is a guarantee. But the S’s left on the market have proven over time that they can’t. I’d rather take a chance on an athletic, young, cheap player with great instincts. 

 As for “flushing” a top 100 pick, I said I wouldn’t trade a pick to move up for Reid. So no idea where that’s going?

I would be ok with next year’s 3rd or even usin our 5th and a 7th to get a 4th round.  But I don’t want to give up our 4 top 100 this year. 

Using our second and next year’s 3rd to get: Reid, Bates, Miller, Hurst, Gesecki might be tolerable. But still not ideal. 

I could see us doing that if we go WR in round one. Then there is a possibility that CB Oliver is there in the early second. I might be ok with that.  But not to double up on 2 secondary spots.

I have read that Eric Reid has good coverage skills and can absolutely play as a FS on short to intermediate routes, but is a little more limited on deeper routes.

We could do worse.

  Almost any S can cover on short to intermediate routes. And considering we have Luke, TD and/or Shaq, and a limited SS, we don’t need a FS who can’t cover in space. We have plenty of guys who can only cover those routes.

The real  question would be whether there is enough in his game to indicate that he is at least serviceable (and maybe even improve) relative to allow us to picking up other positions in the draft (provided that we would look towards signing him or another vet after the draft of course).

      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
