I think we go O-line in 1st no matter if we pick top 10 or trade down. Cam is not in our long term plans no matter how the rest of this season plays out, why pay him for one more year? We already have Sam for $18 million, besides having Sam at QB would be our best chance for #1 overall next year and Bryce Young! I hate to say this but we are not competing for a Super Bowl next year, might as well acquire asset and talent.

Our only option is to get high enough draft pick to trade back a few times to acquire more draft capital then can probably get a qb in the 2nd highest priority I think is Center guards then OT given the opportunity Brady would provide average play at LT given the opportunity he has had the highest grade there when he played

I agree but doesn’t YGM fit that description?

Good points btw - not sure if any DE’s like this are worth a 1st round pick this year but I could be wrong.

 

YGM has the right size, but he lacks explosiveness and power in rushing the QB. He rushes the QB like a jag. The top ten pick version of this body type is an excellent pass rusher. They typically don't fall out of the top ten, and sometimes go #1 overall. They are the most important player on defense in a 4-3, and without one of them your defense will be exploited. There are two DEs who might go in the top ten of this draft, and they are this body type.

      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

      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.
