I have a suspicion a lot of teams REALLY like a few guys including Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Bernhard Raimann, & Zion Johnson.  They're that blend of smarts, passion for the game, hit all measurables, just the full package at their positions.  

Personally love hearing we may potentially be looking at Raimann if we trade down.  He's a stud. 

If a trade is made, I HAVE to think Wilson, Raimann, Zion or Corral are the targets on our second block on the big boards.  Then a trade up for Howell with the new capital gained if Corral isn't R1.

Darnold starting in 2022 is an option, but the last option.  There is a very real scenario that happens.  We take a LT at #6 and SF & Cleveland play hardball.  Fitts WILL NOT make the same mistake twice on overpaying for a stopgap QB.  I don't care how hard Rhule pounds the table for it to happen. 

I'm thinking it's Baker, BUT  has to Cleveland eat a portion of his contract and we DO NOT pick up his 5th year option.

This is Bakers 5th year option he was in same class as Sam.

It would be a little rich for sure. A trade down option people may not be considering is us picking up a 2nd+ this year and a 1st next year for our current spot. Strange will fit in that early 2nd round. He is a guard/center hybrid.

From what you've heard, do they have him rated higher than Zion Johnson? I've seen Johnson's value climbing into the late 1st round, and he's the top ranked hybrid I've seen on a lot of rankings.

Better be with a team that is going to suck next year. The only way I’m ok trading out of that 6th pick and not getting a 1st this year is if it’s with a team like the Texans or maybe the Falcons if they draft a QB and miss on a veteran. There is a good chance teams like the Giants, Jets, Jags all take significant steps forward this year and are drafting outside the top 10.

Or….Stand pat and have two first round picks next year in a much better QB class.

He'll probably be about the same then end up injured. That's kinda his M.O.

Yeah, he has been banged up. I am not against trading for him, especially with just one year left on his deal.

I am sure we will fug it up and give up way too much draft capital or sign him to a big extension before he ever plays a snap. Actually, probably both.

Correct.  Hence why I said that's optimal IF we trade back.

Ekwonu or Neal...or Cross sounds like the most likely path.

I'm very against it. I'd honestly rather stick with Darnold.

I think Sam is here regardless of who is drafted. The only way I see him gone is if they draft AND sign/trade for another QB.

I don't see him in the roster, even if he's outright cut. We didn't learn anything from the Teddy debacle. You can't openly poo all over a guy while he's still on your roster. 😂

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
