Who is your off the board wild card pick at #24?

I wouldn't be shocked if we took Lamar Jackson at #24. Now people may say why the hell would we draft a QB?

 

1. We need a backup for Cam. Yes he is the franchise, but with his style of play you got to start thinking longterm about his health and potential risk to more injuries. What better QB for Cam to take under his wing than Lamar Jackson? Jackson can learn from Cam and maybe even see playing time on wildcard packages and gadget plays. Drafting Lamar Jackson at #24 allows us to have a QB for the future and a reliable backup in case Cam gets injured. It wouldn't shock me if we took him in the 1st round.

Who is your wildcard pick at #24 that would shock the fans?

Taking a developmental backup #24 overall when you have a 29 year old franchise QB would be dumb as hell. You start looking for you QB of the future once your established starter is mid-30s. We should be 4-5 years away from that.

I'll go with Kolton Miller as my wildcard. No one is talking about OTs for us this year for the first time in just about forever, but Matt Kalil just isn't all that great and who knows what type of contract Daryl Williams might command.

Id say any Tight End or Offensive Tackle would be very unexpected.

Id flip my table if Hurney picked D. Payne... I think hes like the 2nd rated DT or something , but Ive had enough DTs to last me a few years since Gettlemans tenure and Hurney flubbing on Fua and McClain. I just hope he stays the hell away from DT. 

I think we will be in position to possibly draft the # 3 saftey, #3 CB, there are a lot of signs pointing to this pick being made on the secondary.

Readlly wild card pick - Taven Bryan

Surely I'm not the only person who thinks the JJ Watt comparisons are absurd.  Watt had double the tackles, triple the tackles for loss, and double the sacks in two seasons at Wisconsin as Bryan did in three at Florida.

    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
    • I dont recall that happening to a qb but my memory has been crap the past few years
