Dog, we have a Year 2 Matt Corral on the roster for next year, its not ideal compared to Bryce Young or w/e but its not nothing.

Bro. That dude is learning behind Darnold, PJ, and Baker. Plus some Rhule in there. Unfortunatley he has probably regressed just sitting on the bench.

For the tankers, the day went about as well as it could, other than us winning of course. But, just to hear my 9-year-old son say, "Dad, we got revenge for the Super Bowl" made it worth it to me. Of course, the win today does not equate to that, but it did to him. Keep Pounding!

Looks like guys picking after us could lose next week and we would still be at 6

True, but then another 2-3 wins would put us in middle of the pack versus those other 4 win teams--as they are not as good or have harder remaining schedules. I want no part of picks 4 through the rest of the top 10.  I think there's better value around 10 and back.  We don't need linemen as bad as other positions and that's the meat of the crop after Anderson, Young and Stroud.  WRs and Mayer will be the choices in that area.  Moore needs some help and Lord knows we are severely TE deficient.

I'd rather regularly be 32nd in the draft than first.

Then again, I love pro football and I only slightly pay attention to college football. I'd probably like college football better if it translated better to the pro game. 

College football is fuging awful. You will never see a worse example of lack of parity and lack of fairness than college football. 

There is no comparison to the NFL.

Another thing that makes the NFL so good. Any given Sunday is accurate.

The upside to missing out on the "Top-4" is snagging a guy like Mayer or Johnston to help the offense. Our OL looks set up for success as long as we bring back Bozeman. Looking at the 'Hawks with Geno and the Niners with Jimmy G makes me think that if we miss out on Stroud/Young, that we are a good HC/OC and decent QB away from a playoff push.

Yup, I'm all for fortifying the rest of the roster. Getting a solid, even if unspectacular, QB and competent coaching staff that includes an OC with a freaking clue can get this team into the playoffs.  Our defense isn't that far off and the offense can be retooled in one off season with several savvy moves in the draft and a couple key FA signings.

Yep, and all the playbooks are designed as such.

"see line up as wide as possible and run as fast as possible and the QB will just heave it up to you and you will have so much separation against 9 out 10 of the teams we play it won't fuging matter what we call"

And therein is my problem with basing everything on the draft, particularly the hope of fans. I get it, though, some folks love not just a college team but the entire college football experience. They really get into comparing QBs and other prospects and they have strong feelings about certain prospects. And that's great.

Except that all of that rarely translates well into the NFL. It's great when your team hits on a good player and once in a while, your team will hit on a legendary one (we've certainly had some here). But most of the seven picks or so you'll make aren't on your team in two years or even in the league in three.

So, I just can't get but so interested in all the talk of drafts. And I sure as hell don't abide by the idea of tanking for some snot nosed kid who is a "guaranteed top 3 pick QB."

I know that's where the greats come from, but the crop has been so underwhelming in recent years, well... surely you see.

Yup, this is Colorado's last several games versus top competition (tied for worst 1-win team in the Power 5)

Now here are the Texan's results--the worst team in the NFL:

They are not getting blown out.  They only lost by 12 points to Philly who has the best record in the NFL.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
