What are we doing in the draft?

Sounds like Rhule has roster control per the contracts. 

“I think in terms of on the contract, a lot of those things probably rest with me,” Rhule said, via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. “But that’s not something I’m real interested in. I think it’s kind of a formality. Scott’s here to run the personnel. He’s here to build the roster. He’s here to establish the draft process. I think some things are written into the contract, but I think we’re going to work collaboratively and work together.”

 

Per Rhule's contract (no plural), which I assume is somewhat Belichickian in nature from the sounds of it. He sounds like a reasonable guy with a spirit of cooperation (until he isn't) though.

I was also referring to Fitterer's contract, which could very well become an issue if we have success going forward and a team wants to hire him away from us. Per my understanding, we can't block him from interviewing for other GM roles if they're offering full roster control and we aren't.

I’d give him up for a conditional 7th that doesn’t count unless he throws for 3000 yards and becomes a 6th if he’s the MVP. Basically just getting the extra $10M guaranteed money in 2021 back into our pocket. I’m still in favor of cutting just to get the $8M back but if we can get the full $18M, you do that for a donut. 

Yep. I honestly look at anything we receive in return as a pure bonus.

You could probably reverse the order of OP now.

I always go back to the same thing with Darnold: he never learned to set his feet to the target. It shows up when you start having to throw down the field to moving targets. Darnold ranked 3rd in highest % of uncatchable targets on "horizontal lead" throws beyond 10 yards

he never really became a quarterback he was always just a high school tight end getting a few snaps as a wildcat quarterback

Lol wtf does that even mean. An embarrassingly bad take.

It means he never learned the technical side of the game and was always playing the game as if it was streetball, something that was plainly obvious if you watched him play

in any case it’s a better take than someone pretending to be an evaluator on twitter

He's just a troll who just spouts poo off for clicks at this point. 

If one of the top 4 QBs drops to 8 do we attempt to trade back or do we have an open QB competition?

I see a lot of technical things in Sam's game. I also see a lot of breakdown of his mechanics and reliance on physical skillset when a play breaks down, which in a NYJ uniform was pretty much every other play. You cannot make it to the NFL and play remotely well without learning the nuances of playing QB. Just silly. Then you would also have to argue that our entire coaching staff missed that as well. 

More stability and better coaching should put him at a higher level of play. Good enough to be a franchise QB? Who knows. Better than what we have now definitely. 

Sick dig at the end though.

he hasn’t played remotely well

people make it to the nfl all the time without learning the nuances of the position 

when has a player this deep into their career ever made such sweeping and radical changes to who they are and blossomed into a star

For me it's Sewell 1, Surtain 2, Slater 3, trade down an option

[ColumbusCounty]

Since Darnold is now our QB.. 

You almost have to go Sewell or Slater. With protection imo he'll do very well here. And I've never been a fan of the guy. Without protection, it'll be a 6 win season. 

OT will be addressed between Round 1 or Round 2. Cam Erving is not going to be our blindside starter. Both him and Eifen will be plugged in a guard with one eventually taking Paradis's spot at center once he's gone. 

Oddly enough with our current roster we're about 3 starters away from suprising alot of people. LT, Cb, and FS.  

With the amount of $$ we have next offseason, that Rhule third year habit should come true. 

Or maybe I'm too optimistic.

I'd be cool with any of this. You are really in a cannot lose position at 8.
