I would have thought after months of fans talking up Bridgewater culminating in barely managing to trade him for a sixth might have served as a cautionary tale but seeing folks trashing other fans for being skeptical about putting all our eggs in a basket with holes in it says otherwise. At best we are looking at a 50/50 chance Darnold can be an adequate starter after three years of bust status. Corner was a big void for us but Horn will have his work cut out for him to justify a top 8 pick. He was taken higher than Patrick Mahomes. These next few months are going to drag until we get football again. I will feel much better if we add some maulers to the offensive line on day 2.

When does this fan base not embarrass itself. Even more so as these people don't even watch the other NFL games much less CFB. Their takes are right out of First Take rofl

They watch only the Panthers and get their draft info from ESPN

To be fair the franchise embarrasses itself far more than the fanbase. The team loses, the fans react.

There are 5 tackles on the board---

Jenkins (he can play LT)

Radunz

Cosmi

Eichenberg

W. Little

We pick 8th, and there will be 2-3 WRs, a C, a S, an edge or two--expect a run on OTs, but we will have one or two from which to choose--I say Radunz, Eichenberg, Little.  We might even drop back. 

I also predict that Atlanta may draft Mond or Mills.

Atlanta is celebrating tonight, as they should,  for getting Pitts, but they would be smart now to get Mond or Mills.

Matt Ryan isn't Brees or Brady, or even Rodgers...and Julio ain't going to be around long if Ryan continues to fumble with all the weapons they give him year in and year out.

Why?  Did we lose the ability to draft more players?   Are we not allowed to select players in the next two days?  Who said there is no more top tier players left to pick?  Im getting confused by all the huddle panic after one pick, one, one f*cking pick and the season is over.  Not directed at you specifically but this place has go sh*t with all the drama going on over this.  

I don't get it. It's like people aren't using their brain anymore. We tried to get Stafford, another team offered more. We tried to get Watson, allegations showed up. There weren't many other options for us to get other than Darnold. We couldn't stay with Teddy. He showed what kind of QB he is and it wasn't enough.

After Lawrence, the rest of the QBs in the draft had about the same potential as Darnold and the same age. Darnold was drafted to an awful team with awful coaching and staff. This is essentially Darnold's rookie year and instead of giving up assets to get someone close to the same potential, the largest asset we gave up was a 2nd next year. 

I'm just glad we have a staff that recognizes mistakes or players not performing and moves on from them instead of sticking with him for far too long like our last regime did. I'm tired of all the bitching.

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
