Draft Pick Update: #6

If LAC and DAL somehow manage to pull out 2 wins in these last 4 weeks, we're looking at potentially #4 if this continues.

Only issue: We've got Washington & Denver on slate but Denver should have Lock back.   

I'd say we're comfortably in the 6-10 range after today, no higher than #4 with NYJ, JAX, & CIN leading the way.

The nice thing about the Chargers is they're unlikely to pick a QB.  Same with CIN.  So we've got a decent shot at one of the top 3 now.

edit: Minshew seems to be playing really well - anyone watch any of his games?  JAX going to move on from him?  Almost looks like tehy'd be better off keeping him.

They benched him for Sean Glennon's brother this week so they're definitely eyeing Wilson or Fields.  If Cinci ends up #2 is the wildcard because I want to trade with them soooo hard.

So hard.

Ah, I thought he was injured.  He seemed to be doing ok... weird.

Minshew has been benched for like 4 weeks. This is QB #3 for Jacksonville on the season.

I was thinking we were more like 8th, or will be after next week.  Still, Packers and Saints would most likely give us 2 losses and Washington Denver 2 wins.  6-10 probably puts us at 11-14 slot

I think Washington could be a game where we play super inconsistent and Rivera takes one over his former org.

Hopefully we shut down DJ, and CMC on a lost year. Think we def win one more

Was he a healthy benching?  I thought it was because of fractures in his thumb that made them not want to play him.  The start of his year seemed pretty strong.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
