If I had to right now, really had to and show my cards on who I like...

I'm guessing we end up around Pick 6-7.  I'll take a more targeted approach rather than a straight up guess for each current pick:

R1 - Jordan Addison/Quinten Johnson WR - Give me one of these bonafide studs.  I want top talent, best possible offensive playmaker upgrades.  Period.  Possibly the TE, but Addison is going to be special.  Think a blend of Stefon Diggs and Devonta Smith.  

Late R1 (Trade up) - Tanner McKee QB Stanford - Give this guy an OL and those type of WRs, I'm 100% interested.  He actually has all the tools, is smart, young (22), NFL arm, has the size (6'6), enough agility in the pocket, and word is more than a few GMs and scouting teams are actually high on him, not an online boosted stock situation. Get him end of first with that option.  See how he stacks up.  Pro ready, pro style offense, pro style QB. 

R2-3 - Henry To'oTo'o LB Bama - Shiny new linebacker after we inevitably let Shaq go.

R3-4 - Luke Schoonmaker TE  - Need to take another gander at a TE.  Thomas and Tremble have made progress but we need a. clear upgrade.  Massive potential with this guy.

R3-4ish - Cameron Ward QB - Go high upside on a double dip.  He's like 20/21, treat it developmentally and see how he fairs vs. Corral.  Sign a vet FA for insurance, I doubt we'd want to roll with 2 rooks and a 2nd year who's basically a rookie.

R3-6 - Chase Brown RB - Plays through contact and has got the burners. Crazy good acceleration.  Think Saquan meets Ekeler (style/type wise, not saying he's a star RB, but has the potential)

Stick with the Sax man…I am sure you have talent there.  No offense

Nice.  Thanks. 

[saX man]

And no offense taken, I know my circles, I know my cheesy gimmick, and I bring here what I will.  

Take it or leave it.  And continue your thing, whatever that is

Naw man, I love your analysis with the QBs.  We are Some Kinda Blue at the position.  Again, keep it up man you are bringing great convo

Cool cool.  Used to be a bit different but kind of chilled with the sax shtick ha.  

And having a few ears out there through the fam (I'm just an architect), hear some fun stuff every now and again.  But I don't have it directly at my disposal.  Only once in a while through my cuz.

Also, just love chatting prospects, all good

Agree totally.  Don’t ever take me seriously.  Please don’t be offended.  I think our QB opinions are usually very aligned

Guys, I think I found our QB of the future:

[ECHornet]

I’d take this and run. No trade backs. I drafted Mayer a little high, but I doubt we’re picking at #5 anyway. Plus, I drafted PJ Walker’s replacement with our last pick. Ha

Finally a mock that isn’t exactly the same as all the others. I think this mocks will end up being closer to what actually happens than the mocks we’re used to seeing. Foskey in the top 10 is something I think happens

[BrisbanePanther]

I had a bit of fun with this with a couple runs. Where Young fell to us:

6.
Bryce Young
QB Alabama

39.
Josh Downs
WR North Carolina

80.
Dalton Kincaid
TE Utah
 

105.
Devon Achane
RB Texas A&M

109.
Ricky Stromberg
OC Arkansas
 

126.
Tyler Steen
OT Alabama
 

131.
Carter Warren
OT Pittsburgh
 

142.
Jalen Graham
LB Purdue
 

159.
Mike Morris
EDGE Michigan
 

166.
Cory Trice
CB Purdue
 

214.
Payton Wilson
LB NC State
 
2024 LAR 3rd
2024 LAR 5th
 

But even more fun with this one--assuming we thought Young, Stroud, or Williams in '24 as the only acceptable QB of the future options and accepted almost all trade requests:

57.
Tank Bigsby
RB Auburn
 
65.
Andre Carter II
EDGE Army
 

66.
Layden Robinson
OG Texas A&M
 

72.
DeMarvion Overshown
LB Texas
 

85.
Cameron Latu
TE Alabama
 

89.
Owen Pappoe
LB Auburn

 

105.
Warren McClendon
OT Georgia

 

116.
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
EDGE Washington
 

139.
Derick Hall
EDGE Auburn

 

147.
Steele Chambers
LB Ohio State
 

150.
Olusegun Oluwatimi
OC Michigan
 

211.
Grayson McCall
QB Coastal Carolina
 

226.
Tykee Smith
S Georgia

 

2024 JAX 1st
2024 NYG 1st
2024 ARI 1st
2024 TB 1st
2024 CIN 2nd
2024 DEN 3rd
2024 TEN 3rd
 

5(!) firsts in the following draft, plus an extra second and two extra thirds? Totally unrealistic fantasy but one can dream as we'd totally control that draft and future ones with teams trying to position.

Anyone else think Houston might seriously entertain trading out or going non QB?

Their roster is BAD. They’ve essentially been a lock for the 1st pick all year. They have 1’s from Cleveland this year and next and could grab a few more in a trade down.

Whether they take their favorite QB prospect or not, they’re going to be drafting 1st overall next year again anyways. Would they rather have Caleb Williams or a haul of picks for him. Build up their team and start the QB rookie contract clock a year later?

I’m all for taking shots at QB until something hits but this team is so damn bad I’m not sure you want to put a rookie back there

Nah, you don't get #1 overall often, it's rare even for traditionally bad franchises.  You take a QB unless it's one of those classes like last year which was incredibly mediocre.  Getting the pick of the litter, you have to do it.  Even though I don't love any of these QBs, if the Panthers were #1, I would have a hard time arguing against it.

Assuming the Broncos continue to be a hot mess, do the Seahawks re-sign Geno on a QB friendly deal or draft a rookie QB with Denver's pick?  Possibly both?
