Darnold would be better than Bridgewater.

I'm not happy with investing the #8 pick + probably something else on the 4th QB in the Draft (I'm just not sold on Fields or Lance). I'd much rather spend it on a player that's going to improve the team - and keep that other pick to spend on another player that improves the team. 

How is it that you can be sold on Wilson, but not Fields or Lance, especially Fields considering from a statistical perspective, he's really not that far off from the golden boy, and is the most accurate of the QBs by a wide margin?

Who said I'm sold on Wilson?

I simply don't discuss Wilson or Lawrence because they won't be there at #8 - and we'd be foolish to trade up for them.

Need to simply say, I'd rather draft a mid round prospect like Mond over trading for Darnold. He only has the 5th year option left at this point, and that is IMO too high a cost for a player that remains in question. 

If we can't get Fields / Lance at #8 or maybe a trade up to #5 if ATL takes Pitts, I'd like to see us take SeWell or Slater in the 1st, and then look to bring in Mond or Newman on Day 2 with a solidified OL in front of him. 

 

OL - Sewell or Slater / Elflein / Paradis / Miller / Moton -- Key Reserves -- Erving / Little / Scott 

WR - Moore / Robby / Moore / our depth behind this

TE - Arnold / Thomas

HB - CMC / Draft Pick

QB - Teddy / Mond / Newman

------------------------------------

I think I'd like the potential of this collection of players, especially if we're able to trade back in Rounds 2 & 3 and use the additional picks to make use of taking a QB and extending our depth in other areas. 

Not to mention in this scenario TB is likely the stop gap QB to give the rookie time to get acclimated.

You talking about what I posted, or something else?

Something else.   I literally just made a mock a little while ago in the draft subforum based on us trading for Darold because the 'big 4' were gone.  We are coming away with a QB on day 1 this year; either Lance, Fields, Jones or Darnold (via trade).  Bank on it.

      Last night with some players

      Sounds encouraging.  I agree about the LB....I was CERTAIN second round would be a LB.  I would also like to add that, on paper, DL looked solid--but only 1 performed well in 2025 (2 if you count Robinson, who is now gone).  I am guessing they feel that the LB play will improve with the improvement up front--logical.  Remember the old rule (not sure who said it first) "You build from the inside out, front to back."   We drafted, in my early opinion, a starting NT and C this year.  inside out, front to back.

      Agree--I think a mid-level tackle but he could prove to be an elite G--not sure how he would do at RT--or maybe Freeling---lotta moving parts--but I would look at him at G if mid-level T is his ceiling--he has been improving, but the injury..

      Worked an event that many players were at including Ickey. Talked to him, looks and walks around good/normal. Taylor Moton released a new Tequila with his partner Matt Kahlil. Taylor looks great and is psyched for the season. He's such a good guy. Even Derrick Brown, very focused. It's like a quiet, calm I'm gonna rip through you confidence. Building his forever home and sticking around CLT. Bryce stopped in, but was upbuilding talking to the guys, not drinking, smoking cigars like others. There was little different aura with them, almost a quiet confidence, some fun. Reminded me of the 2013-2018 era. Had an event Tuesday with TD (he was there last night too) and he thinks the team looks real good, maybe just needs an another LB. He loves the Devin Lloyd pick up.  No negative comments, just giving a nice update on some players.
