Quinten Johnston in the 1st, then Max Duggan in the 2nd.

Maybe not, but it would be odd to allow him to trade away CMC and turn down 1st round picks for Burns if he wasn't part of the long term plan IMO.  

I look at it as opposite with burns.  If he was in the long term plans then he would probably be more open to trading for future picks.  As it stands now I doubt he knows his future

Johnston is a fine player but honestly we already have someone very similar in TMJ.  We gotta go QB in the first…we can’t keep kicking the can there

That’s how I see it. Either trade up (or have a high pick) for Young or Stroud, or sit back and draft on upside with Levis or Richardson.

I am good not even drafting a qb at this point we got PJ and Matt we good for another year or two and see how it pans out I don’t think any prospects is better than pj right now. Get the best WR and DE or LB or DT 

I'm with you on this. Drafting a QB in the first just for the sake of drafting a QB in the first doesn't make a lot of sense to me. No one I've watched (honestly havent watched them all) really jumps out as "yeah, that's the guy." PJ is better than I thought and who the Hell knows what Corral can do? He wasn't exactly coached up this season. Go with best available and see what happens.

There comes a time to put all the chips in for a QB…if we like the right guy we have to treat this like no cost is too much.  I didn’t think Deshaun Watson was the way to go but Tepper was close to all in there.  The draft isn’t any different.  
 

Multiple firsts, players whatever…you have to go get that player

My problem would be this team has not been good at finding that QB.  Atrocious actually.  Very worried that they don’t know how to evaluate QBs.

Who is that player though? I haven't seen anyone worth betting the farm over. No one I've seen seems to have the it factor. Maybe they'll be good, who knows? I haven't really been particularly impressed

Why in the name of all that's holy am I looking at yet another thread about drafting a WR in the first when WR at present looks like a strength on this team (DJ solid, TMJ showing obvious potential now the Fhule is gone) when QB is the desperate need and the key weakness of our defense is like of pass rush outside of Burns?

Stop drooling over frisbee catching dogs because you're too focused on fantasy football and look at what's needed to actually win a SB. WR talent is abundant around the league and little evidence exists that elite WR talent matters to playoff success vs the two positions I named.

You’re living in the early 2010s. See SB last season, the 2 most arguably important players on those teams: Kupp and Chase. Not to mention virtually every top team has elite WR groups. MIA is finally on the upswing with Waddle and Hill leading the way. Minny would simply not be 6-1 without Jefferson. Allen has Diggs and Davis. And umm.. the undefeated Eagles have AJ and Smith rolling and are a big reason Hurts has been able to step it up.

That doesn’t mean we go WR rd 1 but your narrative doesn’t hold water. Elite WRs are what modern offenses are focusing on. 

And I’m sorry but it’s just not a strength for us. TMJ has shown us a nice game. Let’s see what happens.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
