[RumHam]

Yikes. Anyway, Tua is worth the risk. I'd rather have a talented young dude in a modern offense that might get nicked than older, expensive dudes who can't hang stay healthy or hold onto the ball. I mean, i understand what could go wrong but grow some balls and think about what could go right. If he's the pick, obvi

Is he?   I have to admit I have my doubts even if he fully recovers from his injury.  He has looked decent to good in some games, but its easy to look good at Alabama where you generally have more talent surrounding you than every team you play.  But from a historical perspective, that doesn't work as well in the Pros

Y'all doubt everyone who isn't a sure fire top five pick every year

[Palmetto]

I dont know what people see in Herbert

The only way we would even have a shot at getting burrow i am not advocating this or suggesting this but if we truly are in rebuild mode and with the reports of trading cam we would have to trade luke cause you could get alot of draft capital in trading luke. Then use it to trade up with the bengals. Again i am not suggesting this or saying we need to do it but it makes me wonder and think about it if we are in fact in a rebuild.

CMC would get a higher pick. The Bengals need a QB though so I doubt they’ll trade with anyone.

I'm am not letting CMAC go!

I’d rather have Jalen Hurts than either of them. I’m very interested to see what an offensive minded coach can do with him. 
 

I know he doesn’t exactly wow people with his arm, but I love his mobility and the dude wins. 
 

I wouldn’t be opposed to the best DT in round one and then hurts in round two (assuming we snagged a bright offensive mind like Stefanski or Roman as HC)

If you mean me, I doubt all picks until they prove it on the field in the NFL.  More often that not, its correct to doubt them, especially when it comes to QB's.  And I don't really care if we have the first pick or 10th when it comes to QB's.  I mean if you look at the first qb selected in each draft over the last 10 years or, its not an awe inspiring group by any stretch of the imagination.

There is a QB who I think will rise up draft boards in the offseason---and I think he could be a good pro---

Newman has the right measurable, and has done well when he doesn't have the best talent around him. Except at wide receiver where wake has two or three guys who will likely play on Sundays in the next year or two.  He has touch on this throws, and is a good runner.  But he still looks raw at times, and I am not sure he is ready for the NFL.  Plus I really hope he stays at Wake for his next season.  But if he goes pro, might be worth a second or third round pick.

Lamar Jackson, Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, and Russell Wilson are the best quarterbacks drafted in the past decade, but people are still pining for the next Sam Darnold or Jared Goff.

Take Jalen Hurts early in the 2nd.

You need mobility as a QB with the decline in offensive tackle talent league wide.

The knock on Hurts is he can't read defenses.  I wish I knew more about it, but it is one of those things that bothers me when I consider him.
