Was Joe B(rady) even in the room?

For a guy with HC aspirations he wasn't in the picture much. 

They were limited on how many people were allowed in the room for covid. Im sure not many teams had coordinators or assistant coaches in their draft rooms. Top scouts and top front office guys

They were allowed, I think, ten people.

Obviously Rhule, Fitterer and Tepper were there. Other than them, I saw executive guys Matt Allen, Pat Stewart, Jeff Morrow and Samir Suleiman, scout Mike Martin, secondary coach Evan Cooper and the executive assistant lady who just retired (I forget her name).

It was Linda O'Hara who retired, she was the executive assistant to HC

It's probable they edited out any QB discussion, but it's also clear from the clips surrounding the acquisition of Sam Darnold that they a) bought into the age thing and b) compared him to the QBs coming out in the draft. They are all in on Darnold. Let's hope that was the right decision.

The other name you didn't see at all was Rashawn Slater...

it all is heavily edited to paint a specific picture.  Still cool.

But even take Rhule's board at the beginning.  He lists who they think likely drafted ahead of them....and then on the other side a cluster of guys they want to discuss.   But even that is edited and they don't show you everything said.  

and you know that because it cuts away from Rhule as he is in the process of writing the two Bama WRs....to a cut of him stepping away from the board.  They edited out something.   And you can pause it as he steps back and see he added something underneath the Bama WRs.  It's blurry though.  Can only guess.    It like the half second between the 6:22 and 6:23 mark.  But they added something.  2 more names? A thought.  Whatever it was, they didn't want it in the video.   But it was important enough to make the board...

definitely doesn't look like Slater though.

Good catch. The last one definitely looks like Fields.

Yeah but it looks like “fields /“ I have to assume after the “/“ is “jones”

 

I think they were planning their emergency picks or drops backs.

could be.  Trade downs in the first.  Fields/Jones.  First one could be the Ole Miss WR but spelled with an A?  They had both Bama WRs up there so they clearly were entertaining a WR in the first.  

But it sure does look like Fields.  Which matches the reporting.  People wanted him in the building. 

and it would make sense to edit that out to push the Sam is the dude narrative post draft.

But that makes no sense that they would blur it out if it was Fields.

 

I mean...this vid came out AFTER the draft was over and Sam wasn't exactly watching Panthers Confidential or what-have-you anyway as he was surely busy moving to Carolina.  

In fact, you can say that even if Sam did see they had Fields on their list, their decision to draft Horn basically cemented that he was THE GUY.

I mean, something was clearly deemed important enough to make the board and discussion...and they seem to have made a decision it wasn't something that should make the video.    Maybe Rhule thought he would add his Taco Bell lunch order in the section about first round picks.  Who knows. 

Could also just mean we really suck at corner and the new GM really values corner coming from the LOB/Seattle.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
