Trade down or stay put?

I'd still field calls if #1 isn't an option.

I agree about the QB comment. I’m sure at least 1-2 QBs will “emerge” as franchise QBs. I wouldn’t be surprised if a healthy Strong is one of them.

With the dearth of QB talent a trade down might be wishful thinking but we absolutely will look to do so.  However if Neal or another top OT is there we might have to make that pick.  We gotta have a serious upgrade of talent on the OL.  

Outside of some crazy development at QB we will probably be in a pickle there regardless

If Devin Lloyd rises then stay put and take him. Whoever gets him will have immediate playmaking and shutdown ability with championship leadership to control the middle of the defense.

If he looks to be available in the late 1st round, then trade down. Possible shot at getting the defensive leader in Devin Lloyd and the OL leader in Linderbaum by trading down.

It’s a almost guaranteed we trade down a 1-2 times in the first hopefully walk away with linderbaum at OC weakest part of our o-line is the middle. Brady seems to be serviceable at LT we could accumulate a couple 2nds and 3rd round picks by trading down and could use a 2nd on a qb

Only Kenny Pickett is a franchise QB in this draft. I think Corall is an NFL bust. Willis is not that good, and Strong, depending on his knee, is a solid option. The rest are projects. We can stay put and get one of the 3 LTs or the Iowa C. If we move back to the mid teens, we won't get any of them. If they are there, get Pickett or the remaining LT. We traded off too many picks and playing games to get more will get us lesser players. Bite the bullet and no more trades.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
