dude has no idea what he's talking about don't even bother, his mind is made up cause he saw field bust off a 80 yard TD run on sportscenter top 10 one time

Yeah you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about when it comes to me. You should probably just stop.

I'd call the Bears about #2 but I expect the price to be STEEP. You can only make that trade if you're willing to bet your career on that guy being a future HOFer.

I'm for rolling the dice on Anthony Richardson at #9. Yeah, he's boom or bust. So sign Darnold as the backup so you don't have to play him until he's ready. Then you roll him out there and see if he booms or busts. If it's the latter, go get Drake Maye.

This is the plan I like. 

Let Sam get knocked around while AR watches and learns on what NOT to do as an NFL QB. 

But also if he busts, then go hard after Drake.

You did see the game today, correct?  Our OL may be better, but weapons?  Nah, the cupboard is bare. I've said this time and time again--Moore would be a #2 on most teams.  One dude we signed off the street (Foreman), Chuba, Ian Thomas, Tremble, Marshall, Shi Smith and so on.  This roster sucks at offensive skill positions.

Moore would easily be the 1 in Chicago over Mooney or Claypool for sure. Chicago won’t be bringing back Monty unless it’s super team friendly so I trust our backs more. And the offensive line makes significant difference.

Anyone that wants to sign darnold to start next year has clearly lost their mind

I’d be happy with up to two firsts and two seconds to move up for Stroud or Young.  Otherwise stay put and take Richardson or even Levis if Richardson is gone or the new coach doesn’t like him. I’ve warmed slightly to both of them (coincided with our fall down the draft spots and the likelihood of getting Stroud withering away).  If we stay put, take a WR and TE in the second. If we only have the be second after a trade, take bpa among WRs and TEs in the second and the other in the third.

Whose playing qb in that last scenario?

This feels like last year

My hot take is there is not a franchise qb in this draft. Do not trade up for any of these guys. Bryce Young is the only one I think has a chance and that is if he can stay healthy with his tiny frame.

Sure, like Darnold today, he had time to run around in the pocket while his WRs still couldn't get open.  Granted, he wasn't getting planted into the turf, but the extra time by the OL didn't do diddly for our WRs that were continuously covered like the DBs were their Siamese twins.

The scenario where we draft bpa?

I try not to overreact to a single game. Our line has been good for most of the year and I’d argue poor coaching early and bad QB play most of the year is the reason we didn’t achieve our goals of playoffs. Whoever we get in the draft will have a solid group to work with and time to throw for the most part. I’m excited.

Trade out then trade back up then kill yourself

This thread is premature. We could still pass the Falcons for #8.
