Ok, who is he going to throw to?  Thomas?  Sullivan?  Tremble?  Shi Smith?  TMJ?  The cupbord is bare my friend.  Sometimes the sexy pick isn't the BEST pick.

Since the Steelers have locked down Moore after the second quarter, Darnold has had nobody to throw to.

Beef up OL and your fears are addressed.TE isnt the answer or the problem.

Circa 2021 OL?  Dude, this is the best OL we've had in yeeaaarrrs. Not exactly sure about needing to beef it up more.  Our TE room is down right atrocious, so yes, it is a problem.  Getting a stud TE isn't the answer, but it's a crucial position that's sorely needs addressing.

Would have liked better RT play this year, let's hope motown is healthy and back to form next year. 

Our TE play is feeble. But 1st round TE. Oof I'm a Pitts fan and even he wasn't worth a 1st so far. Yeah terrible situation and all but man who's out there that's that big a matchup threat at TE this year? We must upgrade the spot, but I don't really think 1st is the value spot.

Now grab the best WR, I'd listen. Moore, TMJ and one of Addison/Johnston/Hyatt as the starting 3. That's baller. Johnston to me is the biggest Q as he looks to be able to do it all outside guy like Julio Jones but the production dones match the freak athlete he is. Hyatt is a burner of a #1/2 but raw as hell compared to the other 2 with 1 year of production. Addison is smooth #1 with big time production as a frosh and following 2 years but not the big outside guy. 

I'm in on minshew or Sam whomever wants a mid/low $ for backup or 30th starter level between them.  They are not the same guys at all, but build around the one you sign. Now if Richardson is somehow in play in the draft, all bets off in the 1st and go big.

Don't forget Mims in the second or third round.

I like Mims a lot too. If you flip and go WR 2nd or 3rd he is another I'm high on. Don't think he has size, speed, length to make it into that top group in the mid 1st. He's been nothing but productive for what 3 years now?

Yep. He's produced all three years. Mim's is on the smaller size, 5'11" 185lbs or so, and not super fast. That said, production trumps measurables in my mind.

I think Mims is probably a 3rd rounder. He's a slot only type and those guys pretty much max out I'm the 2nd and that's for a top tier slot guy. It's why I don't understand the possible 1st round talk for Josh Downs. I think he's a fantastic NFL slot prospect but I think he's likely a mid to late 2nd rounder because he's slot only.

    • 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.
