What to hope for

Because so many look to me for support---spiritual, emotional, lumbar, and child---I decided to start a thread to give us things to hope for--and why.  No charge. 

Please add to this list

For example:

HOPE FOR

Denver to not draft a QB in rounds 1 or 2.....Because if they do not, they will trade for Teddy.

San Francisco to draft Mac Jones......Because if they do, that leaves 2 of the top QBs left with only 5 picks remaining.  Teams will trade up with Miami and Detroit for those QBs--or the Panthers.  If they trade with Miami and Detroit, then that means Sewell, Chase, Pitts--the best 3 non qbs--will be there at #8, and we have trade value or a damn good player.

Atlanta to not draft a QB.....Pitts is getting a lot of attention here. as is Lance/Fields and Sewell.  They do not need a QB.  They are looking to move Jones (rumor) so if that is true, could a WR or Pitts be the ticket? 

Cincinnati to draft LSU WR Chase.....It means that Sewell is still in play, 2 picks away.

Detroit to draft a WR and not trade the pick....The Lions need 2--maybe 3 WRs.  Their second biggest need is a RT, and there are no RTs at #7.  Their best move?  Trade back and grab a RT and WR later.  Expect a trade, but if not, Waddle or Chase will be the pick.  Still, I am about 70% sure this pick gets dealt.

Carolina finds a partner to move back....Of course you have to take Sewell, but he might be the only player we grab.  If Slater is there, maybe.  Yet Carolina may play the deep T odds and move back with the LAChargers for Slater, grab Horn and a T later.   While I really want a solid LT, I worry that we think we have addressed it well enough to skip T on day one and go after a top CB.  As much as it hurts, it could be the smartest move, especially if a QB is there to help raise the rent for #8. 

Sewell falls to Carolina.....The best LT in years falls in our laps?  No brainer.  If he is not there and a big trade offer is on the phone, perhaps another no brainer.

 

Please add to this as you think of them

pushes pitts down and pushes sewell down

 

ATL goes qb.  Cincy goes Pitts.  Fins = Chase.  I would either roll the dice with Det picking or flip picks for a 3rd.  If not get Slater.  Boom.  The line is automatically upgraded. 

I see that.  Cincy  going with Pitts with Sewell and Chase on the board?

Pitts is the proverbial unicorn.  I heard an anyalyst today (or was it yesterday?) say he will have more of an impact than randy moss did for minny.   There is just no way to guard him.  I cannot see Cincy drafting PS over him since they have Reiff and Williams.

I hope Farley makes it to our range in round 2.  He is the best CB in the draft without the back concerns but damn, if he is healthy he is an amazing talent.

I echo this. I normally want to avoid injury-risk players in the first two rounds, but Farley is different.....

Plus if hes there and they pass, I fully understand.

I think Pitts is the most interesting player in the draft.

They've also already got an excellent QB on the roster that they can't move on from for two years.

I'd love them to go QB.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
