Their cap situation has always been worse than the raw number because they have so few people in the number (41 per Spotrac).  They have about $6M in cap space but need 10 more players.  While the top 51 evens that out, it can't when you have less than 51 signed.

It will not age well next year, either.  Next year they have 21 accounting for a cap number only $21 million below the projected cap of $209M

Even now, Ryan's contract is NEVER a bargain to unload.  His cap hit finally overtakes his potential dead cap in 2022, but even then his dead cap is over $40M.

I dont think Denver goes qb.  I also think SF and NE are way too far back to move to 2,3, 4.  Aint no way the last 3 have the ammo to go up that high

Denver has been in talks for many QBs and wanted Fitz also. Lock still acts like a rookie. I heard he puts in no film or lift time. They have soured on him, no matter the fluff. SF is 12th with future picks. NE could do the same about trading future 1s/2s. Bill always has comps and is used to drafting late. Loins and Philly could trade up for a QB too. Goff and hurts are not good enough not to stay put if you love Wilson Fields etc.

Dude Goff is there for 2 years due to his contract and philly is rolling with hurts.  How many firsts would it take SF or NE to move to 2,3,4?  I just dont think they have enough.  We stay at 8 and might have our choice of the next 3 depending if the Jets stay with Darnold.  If nothing else Lance will 100% be there at 8 if thats our guy.

I dont know Loins or Phillys plan, just believe neither Goff or Hurts are good enough to pass on Wilson/Lance/etc. Just like when the panthers took Cam with Jimmy was last years first pick, Cards took Murray with 10th overall Rosen last yr.  3 firsts is the going rate I believe for either SF or NE. SF could flip Jimmy for a pick too. Offset some of the cost. It could a QB musical chairs type of effect. Cam only had 3.5 million in guarantees, they could cut him or its a great spot for a rookie QB. 

Teams could trade for Beaguals pick, Lions pick, Phillys pick too. Its doesnt have to be #4, just before the panthers #8.

So the QB draft freakout crew can officially chill now.  I personally thought the possibility of the Falcons drafting a QB in the top 5 was less than 10%.  Again, we don't have to worry about he teams ahead of us, rather the teams behind us.  Ryan is still relatively young, not injury prone and actually puts up decent numbers every year.  It would be stupid for the Falcons to kick him to the curb.  Cap relief?  Sure and they got him to restructure to help with that.

Trading out...but QB still going there

People keep saying this but I dont see it.  Where are they going and what are they getting?  At their position they have their choice of the top talent at every position on defense.  Something they need.  You think they are going to drop back to the teens?

They could use the extra picks and the defenders will drop.  Agree they need defense but also need RB and OL.

Well obviously QB needy teams like us, WFT, Lions there are ton out there.  

The Lions could potentially draft a QB, but I don't know that I'd call them QB hungry.

There are others though...

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

      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.
