The number 1 receiver in the draft will not fall to 8, if he does, you take him.

Im not sure I follow you with this.  Didn’t we take the number 1 WR in the 2018 draft at pick 24?  Now if you just meant Chase won’t fall to 8 I hear you, but it’s not uncommon for their to not be a WR taken in the first 7 spots.

The number 1 receiver in the draft is Chase

Fitts did not impress me as an option because I actually like Arnold and I think we are going to like the kid from LSU via Seattle Sullivan.  Then there is Thomas. who as a #2, is OK.  HOWEVER, he can play slot WR, out wide, wing, tight, etc.  Move him around and he is hard to stop.

I'm not sure Darnold is anything more than our "QB decision for right now". We haven't even officially picked up his fifth year option yet. 

Yep if a high valued QB became randomly available you know we would be all in on him. If Watson’s legal issues were proven to be illegitimate (don’t see this happening) and he was cleared we would be right back on board trying to get him. A future 2nd is a small sunk cost to upgrade your QB.

This seems like a good thread to drop this tweet in. 

 

This is exactly right. 
 

If you have a chance to draft Chase outside the top 5 and you choose to trade down you better be a magician in the 2-3 rounds and your coach better know how to coach. Or else you’re gonna look really foolish.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
