Is drafting a QB the plan now?

pure speculation on my part

Does the Bozeman signing provide a clue?

After the Corbett signing I was thinking an O-line like this: LT(pick 6), BC, Elflein, Corbett, and Moton.  Was actually pretty happy about this.

After the Bozeman signing though maybe the line looks like this:  BC, Elflein, Bozeman, Corbett, and Moton.  What is the chance we have convinced ourselves that BC is "good enough" that we can now use the first pick on a QB?

Showing progress with a rookie QB would definitely be one way to keep your job, and they have definitely spent some resources on the O-line to help whatever QB succeed.

Like I said this is all just speculation, maybe they just move Elflein to a backup job, maybe the line will be LT(pick 6), BC, Bozeman, Corbett, and Moton.

If that truly is what they want to roll with, I hope we decide to take an Edge rusher or some other position and not a QB.  None of these jabroni ass QBs are worth the 6th pick in the draft.  They would be Day 2 picks in any normal QB year.

There’s not a QB in this class that helps Rhule win now which is what he will need to do to save his job.

It’ll probably be Minshew or Jimmy G leading the offense which is whatever… but on the other hand, drafting Cross, Ekwonu, or Neal at six and having a line of… Cross/Ekwonu/Neal - Christensen - Bozeman - Corbett - Moton is something to be excited about.

I have to agree with you on this. But all bets are off with Rhule making the call.

I don’t think they sign these guys to short term contracts with the idea of having a transition season with a rookie QB. Tepper isn’t going to care if we go 8-9 with a rookie QB. He wants a winning team. Why else would they consistently look to give up draft capital for established QBs?

    • Why is it a no-brainer? I mean the idea of a hold out made me laugh out loud.
    • Oh, oh. I see what you are saying. Yeah but not all of those were draft for draft replacements. Jones was a dumpster dive. The overall point I was making is that it is becoming more common to see this quick pivots as people realize their mistakes. It happens with a lot of busts historically at QB.  IDK about "most teams" have fast, capable WR's. It's a mixed bag across the league. There are the Hopkins, Evans, etc that aren't sub-4.5 guys and are still star players.
    • So if it comes down to that, and it played out, we could be looking at a post June 1 designation for his 5th year money at best. Assuming it is guaranteed which I don’t know.     13.25 mil cap hit in 2027 and 2028.   I have to admit I never really went into the angles after picking up the option. I have always been don’t do it.    So, you pay him the 12 mil for year 4 and if you want out when they go into extension lobbying you trade or cut.  Is that conceivable?   The thing about trading is, I believe all the guaranteed money hits your cap right then. That’s 26.5 million if correct.  So if they picked up the 5th, this would cover the ‘we want out’ expenses from our end, after year 4.   Correct?
