I know Nebraska is considered a blue blood and they have been irrelevant for three decades. 

Older people thinking about years past  consider Nebraska a blue blood.   They aren’t IMO in college football anymore.  

that’s how I look at it at least 

How many kids think Nebraska is a blueblood over a Clemson?  Unless you live in Nebraska you probably haven’t even seen Nebraska play if you are a kid lol

Kids know Dabo, Watson, Trevor and see Clemson as a permanent fixture in college football.  

I think NIL and the upcoming conference changes will create a new mix of them.  No one cares about 30 years ago

I'm not opposed to trading out of that spot and amassing stupid draft capital unless you're certain Anderson is a sure fire HOFer.

Yeah I'm seeing a lot of guys I'd like to take shots at in mid 1st-late 2nd than any sure fire game changer in the top ten. Problem is most other teams are gonna think the same and not trade up. I think the 2021 draft with Lance and Fields is probably turning teams off from getting too excited about prospects. There was some weird trades last year but I don't remember anything like selling the farm to get into the top 10. The Philly/Saints trade was the weirdest and that was mid 1st round

I'm 40 and I still barely remember Nebraska being relevant.

If you're a HS recruit outside of the corn belt you'd probably be legit shocked to find out that Nebraska was once decent at football.

It’s insane how bad Nebraska is now. People under the age of 30 have no clue how dominant they were at one point. Tommy Frazier is one of the first athletes I cam really remember as a kid being completely starstruck by. Lawrence Phillips as well.

That Nebraska team that dismantled Florida was maybe the best ever.  Miami had a few you could argue but who knows

Nebraska Oklahoma was a great game in the Osborne Switzer era.

    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
    • The Jets and Bill's are statistically worse
