We Have to go QB rd 1 and we all know we will go that direction.

but we really need to help the young guy.

 

One thing that’s a QBs best friend is a Solid TE.  We payed Ian Thomas, but that guy would be a TE 2 or 3 in any other roster.

Washington is a Massive human being and a good athlete.  He’s a Mauler as a blocker and a good enough receiver.  Having him and Tremble in 2TE sets is a dream, almost like Baltimore.

I love Darnell, and he's moving up draft boards.  The kid over at Notre Dame is the concensus best TE on their boards, with grades in the teens (where Greg was drafted).

They say he is hall of fame material, been called baby Gronk since high school.  I run the draft mock machine at fanspeak about 30 times a day while working, and when I can get the ND kid (Mike Mayer) I've been taking him with the first pick of the second, turning down good offers for trade backs.

Darnell is always available on those big boards, and it would not be unheard of if both TEs went in the first before our 2nd pick.  Teams in the late 20s in the draft would see valuable versatile pass catcher still there at that point will take him.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
