Carolina will likely take Justin Fields if he falls to 8. The question is, will he get there?

I believe this and they didnt believe he would not make it to 8, hence the darnold trade.

This is good for the rumor page- 60% ATL drafts Fields, 39% pitts, and 1% other.

 

Marty and RR see Lance as Cam 2.0 also..

The cost would have been lower.  probably our 2022 first and 2nd.  Or 2nd this year.  Miami reached out to numerous teams.  We passed.  If we thought Fields was a Watson clone or franchise qb or whatever then we would have made it work

A tad lower. Didnt you also say no chance at all that 4 QB would be drafted in the first 7? Just a unique year and history doesnt hold as much weight.  

I now believe QBs go 1-4, a first in NFL history.

I said 0.0% chance that 4 go in 7 picks.  I still stand by that.  This qb class isnt that good.  I think the shine is wearing off on Lance and Fields a bit now that the film is being digested. 

 

If the Falcons and their cap situation pass on Pitts for a qb then I believe they may be the dumbest franchise outside of the Jets.  No way they dont try and run this back with Ryan and Co for the next 2ish years.  Pitts makes them unstoppable

 

But in closing like I said, if we thought Fields was a franchise qb we would have made the move.

If you think about it, securing Darnold was a brilliant move because it cost nothing compared to what being in a situation where we HAD to move up would have cost.  We know Darnold will be better--better coaches, better weapons x 10, better OL (in theory).  Better defense.  So we get a better QB than he was in NY, pretty much guaranteed, a kid who flashes big time arm talent but has some lower body mechanical issues, and we get a 24 year old player. 

I am not sure we need to bring in a first rounder right now.

It makes no sense to do what they did in free agency and walk into the season with only a ? at QB.  They are all in, and think they can contend again with a QB. 
I am nearly certain that you are right--anywhere from Atlanta-Detroit

Trey Lance aint helping no NFL franchise this season.  Fields maybe, maybe (although I doubt it) but no way does Lance contribute in 2021

I’m honestly just as convinced that we get a “weapon” in rd 1 as an OT.

 

we were apparently close to drafting Ceedee Lamb last year.  Also have heard the “surrounding him with weapons” being mentioned by everyone out there in regards to Darnold, while also saying this OT class is Deep

Why they signed Cam.  But they are not putting  the entire season on his shoulders.  Lance can develop and could run most of the offense designed for Cam. Nobody is suggesting that Lance start day 1, but Week 6 or 7?  Maybe.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
