What are we doing in the draft?

I wonder what Verge thinks. I don't think Verge saw this coming at all....And if you see this Verge are we still going QB in the draft?

To @Verge’s credit, she had Darnold on our radar as someone we would want depending how things went.  

sounds like post 49ers trade that got speed up and more expensive.  Sounds like we negotiated the picks for a bit.  

I would like to know if QB is still in play and not off the table come draft like the GM said

I got clarity about Darnold on Saturday. Didn't leave much room for speculation lol

 

I still think we could go QB, but it is much more likely we got get a CB or olineman.

Apparently discussions started at Justin Fields' Pro Day - so this has been 5 days in the making.

I think people are reading too much into the "they didn't like QBs #3 & #4" as opposed to ensuring we had Teddy's replacement already in house in case plans went awry on draft night.  Teddy was not going to be here next season and Darnold was the nail in that coffin.    In 12-24 months Sam might be very well  be getting that same one-way ticket out of Charlotte.  I mean does the staff love Grier and Walker that much?

Word on which one we prefer?

I think we will trade down to be honest.  OL will almost certainly be addressed with our first pick regardless.

If we aren't drafting a QB, honestly trading down and picking up future assets is probably my preference.

I don't want to trade WAY down, but sliding back to say a few spots and getting that '22 2nd rounder back? Yeah, I'd take that.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
