Don't reach

This says more about poor scouting and evaluation than about reaching.  If you believe your evaluation is correct and that player will not be available at your draft position, then it's not reaching.  

It's only reaching if they suck or they would have dropped anyway

Wouldn’t Elway and Eli be here too? I know the trades happened after they were picked but in essence within an hour/six days the top pick was traded for players/draft picks/drafted players.

I guess our best hope is that Trevor forces a trade right after being picked as that’s a 100% guaranteed multiple SB winning HOF/maybe HOF QB.

Does anyone have Trevor’s agent’s cell?

Absolutely!

Just like Andrew Luck!

Huh? What does Luck have to do with forcing a trade for a top 5 pick. Colts didn’t trade anything to select Luck.

We tried.

Bill Polian actually revealed what the Panthers offered for the number one pick a little while back. I don't remember the details but it was substantial.

Edit: Sorry, that was for Peyton Manning, not Luck.

Let's just pick the best player available when our pick comes along at #8. We're a mid-card team trying to move up a weight class and rumble with the big boys. It's not the time to get cute and all tricksy. Just to do your own scout work, really grill the players in interviews, picks smarts over marketability, toughness over charisma and do your best to weed out the busts waiting to happen.

And really, really scout hard for picks in the later rounds. Our coach isn't afraid of youth, so make the most of that.

    • If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.  
    • He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.  
    • I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
