I'm sure Hurney will want to jump all over this. I hope we stay at 7. Any of you know how much we'd have to give up to move up 4 spots? Doesn't really make sense for a team like us to give up future draft capital during a rebuild does it? Unless we're sold on Tua but I still dont think itd be worth it. What do you guys think?

By the trade chart it would cost our first, second and third rounders this year.

They may want more than that but who knows.

Miami could give up 5 and their second to get there.

Considering Hurney's draft history after the 1st, this wouldn't be a bad idea.

We’d be dumb not to trade up for Tua at 3. Tua could actually be a better fit for Rhule and Brady than Burrow. 

To pepper in some nonsense:

Who was the first coach brought in after Tepper took over? Jake Peetz.  Alabama's offensive analyst twice over.  Reports were that he worked with Nick to implement RPOs that highlighted Tua's skill set.

Maybe we've been targeted Tua all along. Muaahahahaha

And edit/add: He was also one of the only to remain through the staff transition.  Maybe this is all why Hurney is still here.  His hand is being forced to draft Tua and the new staff will be targeting the mid/late rounders.  He's basically demoted as is and will be the fall if it doesn't work out.

    • It’s still early but our 2024 draft day 3 looks promising. Sanders and Wade both look like good roster guys with Demani and Coker also being picked up in the undrafted player pool.  If you count the trade of 7th rounder Michael Barret (I do) to get Mike Jackson it looks even better. 
    • We didn’t need a 50/50 ball receiver. We need guys who can create separation for Bryce to pinpoint the ball to at all levels of the defense. Tet may figure it out a few years from now but he will struggle to beat man coverage due to his lack of acceleration and what seems to be relatively slim frame.    The offense functioned much better with Theilen last season because of his ability to create separation from defenders. I don’t know why but that is Bryce’s go-to rather than a 50/50 ball which, in the NFL, is a throw you may make two times per game.    i wanted Tyle Warren because I feel he can end up being very much like Kelci and how he operates in space and how that chemistry between he and Mahomes doesn’t need a playbook. Then you’ve got Matthew Golden who is apparently burning everyone at Packers camp right now. He is very much like Antonio Brown.    We clearly made the pick we made so I should get over it. I think everyone is hoping for Mike Evans here but at best I think we may get a smaller DK Metcalf? Given what we know about his inability to break coverage at UA-Tuscon, it’s going to be even harder in THA LEAGUE. 
    • With how WR starved we've been over the years I'll gladly take 7 on the roster.  There will no doubt be injuries so it gives flexibility and also makes it easier when someone needs to rest for a week for a nagging injury if someone else can step up.   The Renfrow story has been great.  Dude was on the couch dealing with some real stuff the last year and probably misses playing and is going all out.  And basically his hometown team, near his family, it's like a perfect storm.  We already knew he ran amazing routes and is a third down machine.  AT isn't going to be around forever but Renfrow could slide into that vet leadership role in the future.
