What are we doing in the draft?

But still how far will that get you with Sam Darnold? Ask the Rams

Probably far.  He actually very hard working, smart and can throw the ball well.  Jets were a bad team.  Tom Brady would look like poo on that team.

Young is a good example. It's not promising that we have to go back 35 years for a comp. That's the type of long shot we're taking though.

I wasn't trying to be snarky, but he literally popped into my head when you asked for a comp.  You know what did it?  I thought of QBs on sh!tty teams when I was growing up and the Bucs were the laughing stock of the League and I went "Oh, Steve Young!"

Anybody still thinking QB at 8 btw...why? How? 

We trade a 2nd+ for Darnold and pick up his 5th year option on what is clearly a reclamation project.  So...you draft his obvious replacement now to kill his confidence and make him an expensive backup next year?  The commitment to Darnold, no matter how "small" compared to other QB deals/trades, took away ANY chance we take a QB in the 1st this year.

Nah, I didn't take it as snarky.

Those 4000 yard years were years 3-4 for Tannehill. How can we compare that when Darnold hasn’t even played year 4? What about Tannehill having less than 3000 and less than 2000 in years 5 and 6 in Miami? You are moving the goal posts a bit here. All I said was that in years 1-2 the two were very similar and in year 3, Darnold had worse talent at every spot so while he sucked, he had no chance.

Go look at years 1 and 2 and tell me that they don’t look very similar. Go look at their year 3 offensive casts and tell me Tannehill didn’t have way better weapons.

Also, Gase wasn’t Tannehill’s coach until 2016 through 2018 when Tannehill was 28 to 30 and Tannehill had less yards per games during those 3 years than Darnold did in years 1 and 2.

I’m willing to give Darnold the benefit of the doubt in year 3, because his offensive weapons were trash. 

Interestingly I'd happily take Herndon and Berrios on this team, but I appreciate that they're not high level starters.

Sam will have to learn to take care of the ball.  He had turnover problems back to college.  However, the Jets were atrocious on offense.  OL terrible, weapons really pedestrian and the coaching was just bad.  He played from behind like all the time.

Give me a comp for a guy who has looked a bad through three years as Darnold who ended up working out. I'm not saying it's never happened, but I sure can't think of one off the top of my head. 

Steve Young.

How? If QB #3 or #4 falls to #8.  Why?  It's a cheaper version of what we gave Teddy and with one less year.  Also Grier & Walker are clipboard holders/only break in case of and emergency types of backups.

This is the NFL, stiff competition is needed at ALL positions unless they are top 3 in their respective position in the League.  So no, Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers and Patrick Mahommes don't need competition, but Sam Darold does.

Just fuging LOL if Lance or Fields falls at 8 and they don't pick them. Only way that would be acceptable is if they get a HAUL for that pick

I'm mentally preparing myself for Fields to be there, one of the OTs to be there...and we take a CB. 

It's happening and I'm going to have to blackout after.

    • Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.
    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
