How many times will a young team on the upswing have a top ten pick. Every year you get better and fall farther down in the draft. Need a QB? Very talented group this year and we should get a good one out of the bunch. 

Even if we trade down, we won't have to sell the farm to do it.

Sure D W is very good. Unless we trade CMC, possibly another good young player, and draft picks it isn't going to happen.

Not sure it's worth it in the long run.....

What you got?

I'd say this is the approach most likely to take place. I can't see this staff putting all their eggs in to one basket one year in with a new GM who made his name as a scout. They will try build this team the way the good teams have always been built. You need a foundation of talent, not a lone superstar. I can't think of a team that has been successful throwing their draft capital away like that.

You speak as though we're bereft of talent. Like Greenie says, a young QB of this caliber that hasn't even hit his prime yet doesn't happen. That being said, I'm good if it happens or not.

I can't think of a better way to take advantage of it than packaging it for Deshaun. 

I'd have to say using it to pick our own franchise quarterback without having to give away a bunch of other stuff that we can use to rebuild the team would be superior.

Granted, it's also a huge risk.

We have a few great and promising players. We have little depth and no offensive line. The floor of your roster is more important than the ceiling IMO.

0.0% chance Stafford is dealt for a 3rd or 4th rounder.  A few teams would probably happily ship out their 1st rounder for him. 

The highest ive seen him project is a 2nd round pick. His injury history doesnt help the trade value. It's not a matter of missed games, its that matter of the beating his body has taken.

Unless they build the offensive line then we will see a repeat of the early Cam Newton debacle. Sure D.W may have better tools, but he is an athletic QB who can run with a rocket arm....just like Cam was. 

The oline was always swiss cheese during his prime years. Got his ass beat and he was never able to fulfill his potential.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
