I like Pickett a lot and would have no issue taking him top-10, but we MUST address the OL before putting a rookie QB on the field.

You don't have to put him on the field, you can let him sit on the bench for a year.  If you wait to get your QB to when everything is perfect you might never find one.

If a QB that you like is available, you take him if you have that opportunity.  If you draft an OL this year there is no guarantee there will be a QB you like the following year, or even if you like one, he might not be available where you pick.

I'm not saying you force the pick this year, maybe its next year where a QB is available to you where you pick.  My point is they are hard to find, if you like one and he is available take him

Having watched Willis against Mississippi State, I'd have to agree.

For the record, Brugler doesn't have WIllis going in the first. Pickett, Howell and Corral are his first round passers, with only Pickett going top ten.

Go check out his games against other P5 teams and upper end G5 teams. It's really bad.

What is your idea of 1st round caliber?  Luck and Trevor?

What about Watson?  Mahomes?  Lamar?  Herbert?  I guess you wouldn't draft them either.  There will be a QB this year that will have a similar grade to those 4 on most teams boards.

 

At the time I wasn't a huge fan of Lamar. Other than that, all 1st round caliber guys.

To be honest, I’d say that Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, Fields and Jones all would be or have a high probability to be the top QB taken this year. We really have fallen into the Marty 2.0 mode of draft preparation where we reach for need positions in the worst years and ignore them in deep years. We went with Little in a bad OT class/great IOL class and went DT in a strong OT class. We also went expensive middling to bad vet QBs in two decent QB classes and now I’ll likely go QB in one of the worst QB classes in years.

Everyone keeps saying that none from this class would have gone before the top 4 last year.  Good chance that Mahomes, Watson, Lamar, and Rodgers wouldn't have either.

Trubisky went before those guys.  Those guys had question marks. 

 

 

Yeah, I was definitely not a Trubisky fan.

They didn't have similar grades. I literally told you my grades for them. How are you arguing my grades when you asked me for them? I don't even understand how that's a thing.

You really had Mahomes as a first rounder? I thought he played in a gimmick offense. Obviously I was wrong… 

In the first round? Yeah, not as high as he went. 

I get the "Texas Tech gimmick offense" thing. He just seemed to have more NFL tools than their average "system" QB. 

Would I ever have predicted him to be what he has become? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no.

I do wonder what would have happened had Trubisky been drafted at a more reasonable position than #2 overall.

Two things:

I think we will be picking a lot higher then 10.

 

Is Pickett a top 10 qb?  He had a great year, makes nfl throws but damn I just dont know.  When you pick a qb in the top 10 and he doesnt work more times than not your poo is fuged for a long long time

Our poo is already fuged.  They need qb's, yes plural.  The oline is right there with it I agree.  But they are looking at 5 needed starters and several decent backups between the qb and oline positions.  That is pretty fuged of you ask me.

Hard to say. As always, I am a big believer in the NFL being a self motivating league. If you have "it" then you will work to be the best and success will come at some point. 

If you never see Trubisky ascend above a journeyman backup player then he was probably what his detractors said about him at the time, a one year wonder that got overdrafted in a weak QB draft.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
