How are you feeling about this QB class in general? People seem all over the place on every prospect I’ve read about.

Dane Brugler did a podcast on the athletic going through each top prospect and the draft.  He seems to think only 2 in the top 25 and the general consensus is just all over the place.  No true #1, they all have pretty glaring faults, all in all not as strong as last year.  Brugler is tied in with NFL scouts and front office guys, he is pretty respected in that regard.  He says there is a ton of 2nd round qbs, meaning they have talent to at least start in the nfl.

Yeah that’s one opinion.

This guy has 4 in the first with 2 in the top 10 and Howell falling out of the first round.

I was high on Willis last year. This year he has kind of turned me off playing poorly against tougher competition… 

You have to balance that with the talent around him. One of the same issues Josh Allen had coming out iirc (beyond his accuracy of course)

I think the difference is Dane is probably a bit more dialed in and informed then some rando cbs writer.  But yeah everyone has an opinion at least.  I think once the dust settles on the bowl games and eventual evaluations this is going to be a weak class.    Gun to my head I guess Pickett would be #1 but Corral and willis would scare the poo out of me.  LIke I said 100 times build the damn line and get your qb next year.  Follow the damn process.

I dont see any scenario realistically possible where we draft Howell in the top 10 and he comes in and is successful right off the bat.  Not knocking him just saying he isnt that type of qb and this organization is not close at all to be trotting a rookie out there to start.

 

I can easily however see him falling to the steelers and making a playoff push simply due to the existing team and structure in place.  

Unless we can fix our OL situation I wouldn't want a rookie stepping on the field for us.

      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.
