Next year’s QB crop is better. Let’s wait until then.

Given what option A and B has looked like, I don't want this crew picking another QB over how underwhelming this class looks or another limited vet option. It just is what it is at this point. They are lining up to have to do it, just rolling with Sam is hard for them to justify unless Tepper gives them a pass year and fug that. 

If we had drafted Slater last year we wouldn't still need a LT and could take a flier on one of these guys without much pain but here we are...again. A LT, a less than last year's rookie QB or another D player to ignore the team building failures of the recent past. 

I'm all about collecting draft capital for next year but as much as I don't like this QB class there are just no guarantees next year will be better for us...other than the odds of 2 back to back 2013 classes sounds real low.

Im more in the 'wait for 23' crowd but this post has me thinking. 

Our 'best' situation might be to pick a QB this year and ride with him all year. Assuming we finish top somewhere in the 3-6 range, given the draft capital from the Eagles and Giants we might be in the best position to trade with them for a kings ransom... but only if we already have our QB. 

If we draft a QB this year we might be able to trade our 1st next year for a king ransom. 

Kudos.  But that's out-of-the-box thinking, which is usually frowned upon around here.

Which one is going to hit in year 1?

I have no idea. Everyone says that they all suck. That said most experts were also not excited about Josh Allan either. Another draft expert also famously said that Jimmy Claussen was a can't miss prospect. Its a crap shoot.

Yeah, football discussion happens less and less around here. Its more about trying to dunk on others. 

I was just thinking to how set up teams are when they can acquire multiple 1st round picks. How that suddenly becomes a very valuable currency if used correctly that can be traded and re-traded for years. 

Given Fitter's ability, I could see how he could really do well with that bargaining power. But the only way to be able to do that is if you already have a QB on the roster. Until that happens nothing else is more valuable.

I agree.  Grabbing a guy like Willis, who you know will have some growing pains, may be the best move.  The combo of he and Darnold, without a shiny new LT, could propel us into a very interesting 4-13 type campaign.

But with our QB of the future in place, and probably a new coach after that lousy record, a top 5 pick in hand, and a strong QB crop - we'd be in prime position for a trade rape.

Don't worry friend, they will be drafting a qb next year even if one is taken in this draft. 

Honestly thats ok. 1st round QB's hold their value. Look at the recent example of Josh Rosen. 

Rosen was 1st round pick in 2018. Replaced by Murray the next year BUT still traded for a 2nd round pick. 

If we draft a QB this year AND draft a QB next year we will still recover value. (why am I suddenly in the defend drafting a QB camp!?...)

I missed the most obvious example. Sam Darnold. 

Even BAD 1st round QB's hold value.

If you hadn't noticed we don't have a lot of choices at the position right now. The position also has a ton of cap tied up. The only solution to digging out is the draft. 

They need more than one rookie contract at that position and the draft is the best place to start. So look for them to draft one every year until the find one that sticks.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
