Yep, let Tampa get assblasted by Dallas at home.

Now, the next step is to trade up with Chicago and draft Stroud or Young

"We need all of these players", also "Let's trade away everything for the chance to draft a QB who may not be any good".

Does not compute.

Not sure what else you wanted from him.

He wasn't the one who allowed the Bucs to score 30 points.

Yeah he had that one pick (which was overshadowed by 3 TD passes for his first 300+ yard passing game of the season). 

 

Anyway, he proved what some of us already knew :  He'd make one hell of a backup or Bridge QB until we can get either Corral or another young QB in there to be the Franchise. 

He'd be a nice safety valve for this team to be somewhat competitive while we continue the search.

FTR, I'm fine retaining Darnold for food backup money. Seems like a great guy in the locker room and he could be a good bridge to a rookie if need be so we're not forced to play a rookie before he's ready.

He went for 346 and 3 tds.

You sound like kriby smart last night

We are shaping up to be pick 7ish.  Bears and Cards are likely to be 2 and 3.  And Seattle's DEN pick looking like #4.

A trade up would leap Indy, Vegas, & ATL.    But could be 7 to 2 or 3.  

That's not a monster leap valuation wise.

 

Trade value doesn't come into it when talking QBs. Ask the 49ers - we'd get fleeced.

Not to mention we now have an easier schedule next year and don't have to play the Bills and Eagles.

Maybe. If we end 3rd we could play 

Rams with Staffold and Kupp back, Dolphins, Giants

Had we won the division the last three would be 
Philly, Bills and Niners

If we end 4th
Cards, Commanders and Jets/Dolphins/Patriots

This was a team loss, full stop.  If you believe that Sam was the singular cause for our loss, go ahead and pull the trigger, and trade away a boatload of draft picks for the first or second draft pick.

Kyler's contract likely means they're sticking with him despite the concerns and the injury.

I could see the Seahawks rolling with Geno. Carroll is 70+. Does he really want to develop a rookie QB? Doea he think there's a rookie in the draft who would be better now than Geno was this year?

Indy, Vegas, and ATL are all obviously QB needy teams.

With 3 turnovers and it could've easily been 4 or 5.

He's better than I ever thought he would be but he's not the long-term answer. There were very few throws he made downfield that weren't his first read. He's still the same guy. He looks great when the play works as designed and he can hit his first read. He's an extremely talented thrower of the football. But he's not a long-term answer at starting QB.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
