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.

      I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking.

      Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him.

      Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
