Im not sold on Lance but i think its obvious we select him at 8 if we dont move up. Warts and all, hes going to be a hot commodity. An outside chance we trade the pick to someone else if we dont think hes the guy. 

Also its quite possible we, or another team, move up to take him at 5. 

I think Rhule probably doesnt want to do that, but i get the feeling Tepper wants to make a statement for a qb.

Another reason why we aren't tanking. We're taking a shot on somebody. Anybody.

I don't necessarily agree with that approach because I think that thought played a big role in us ending up with Teddy. We came to the conclusion that Cam's shoulder was shot and made the call to move on. There was a guy who had worked with Brady in the past and ran a very similar offense, what could go wrong? Well, evidently a lot.

The main thing could be that guy has a set of garden peas between his legs. combined with a weak ass arm

Minshew and Trubisky are my last resort guys. I'd rather try one of them out than roll with Teddy again, but really hoping we can land a better prospect.

How many wins does Minshew or Trubisky result in? I dont think either of these guys are the future. I would rather throw a true scrub out there so we can get an actual QB next offseason than roll with mediocre.

Sure, they're not ideal, but I'm just concerned about the cost/benefit ratio of landing a big fish. I just don't want to compromise the building of the team in an effort to get our answer @ QB. The "at any cost" mentality doesn't make sense to me. It will just make things unbalanced imho.

I honestly think his complete aversion to risk is a bigger issue than his arm strength. His arm is definitely subpar for an NFL QB, but it wasn't AS bad as I expected it to be.

I get that. I'm all for being very aggressive, but only for a guy we REALLY like.  I don't want to see us get aggressive to go after the 3rd or 4th option on our list.

Honestly, I would too but I absolutely do not think we're going to do that. We had the perfect opportunity for a "tank" season last year and we passed on it.

I think of the QB's we can realistically obtain they want Watson, Fields, or Lance. I don't see us making a move unless its for one of those 3.

I think if we sign Watson, draft Lance, draft Fields, or draft Mac....we will form into two huddle tribes of rage.   

I only see us uniting as one if Teddy starts. 

That is the funny part.  Why rag over something you have absolutely no control?  The only thing I rag over is the officiating if it's not in our favor.  And then I kick myself for getting upset over a game. 

But that's me.  I laugh when I see someone type "I'll be fine with" or "I'll be ok if" statements.  That's just weird to me.

Carry on.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
