I'm almost positive we are going after either Trubisky or Mariota in the offseason.

If we don't, prepare for Pickett at 6. 

Pickett is going in the top 4.  Dont be surprised if Carolina trades up if they want Pickett.  My hope and dream is trading all the way down out of the 1st round and stock pile picks in whats a very heavy Oline draft in the middle rounds.  Tired of pegging the next season on whatever high rated player we get in the 1st only to see them get injured and then its wait til next year.  Carolina needs more picks, more bodies.  They could easily snag a qb in rounds 2/3 who could start or become a very good backup/trade bait.

Well, we could have basically had Trubisky for free vs what we paid (in cash and picks) for Darnold. Would be curious to see the pro scout notes that led to that decision. 

Who knows if Mitch wanted to come here to totally end his career? He was in a better position with the bears, why would he downgrade to a worse predicament? I think he made the right choice in being a backup in Buffalo.

Best case scenario is we trade back to get at least a second,  and take OL in the first (and maybe 2nd as well).  We also spend a lot on a new FA OL, and let the rookies take their lumps next year.

With the line gelling, Darnold and Rhule should lead us to a top 3 pick in the 23 draft and our new coach has a much better class of QBs to choose from.  Gonna suck for us next year.

There are multiple teams that have two first rounders this year that have terrible OLs.  I would be surprised to the Giants take Linderbaum with one of their picks.  The vast majority of the big boards I've seen have Linderbaum as a first round grade and then don't have another center in their top 100.

And we don't want a 4th round rookie starting anywhere on the line.  I'd love the NC State guy, most are saying he is indeed a LT, but a stud guard if not.

    • Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it. 
    • Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker. 
    • We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
