I think we should shift gears and discuss trading up to #3 rather than #1

i've got this feeling that the colts will actually trade up into the first spot and take levis. not because levis is that good....this is the team that is going to be giving the full time coaching gig to jeff saturday.

irsay is calling the shots in between shots and snorts. be ready for anything. 

I just assume this is happening I’m so sure of it, feels like the natural fit and trade down spot for both the colts and the Bears

I agree with this, I do wonder if this Brady news is going to push the Raiders into the trade up discussion even harder though. Do they just let us jump them it will be interesting.

i have trouble seeing mcD wanting to work with a rookie. i've been thinking jimmy G to the jets, but the more i ponder it...maybe if mcD can't get Brady does he try to get jimmy G?

there's a chance that they could draft a QB, but i think they'll use their draft capital for something else, probably OL and mcD will want to go after a more known commodity and he knows jimmy G.

If the Bears are going to build around Fields they should trade down and get more assets. They need more than just the #1 overall pick. They need a lot.

them trading away fields to pick up another QB just seems like too much unnecessary work. they figured out how to manage around his skill set. now build up around it. more picks would help them pull it off.

That’s a good point. If Colts trade up to 1 and it is Levis I figure 5 is the spot we go to if we feel we need to with Fitterer’s Seahawks connection. Hopefully he has his finger on the pulse of the league like he has indicated he believes he does, because that path does hold a bit of risk. I think we’ll make sure we get our guy one way or another though.

Ninth is a good place to pick. You miss on one or two sure things, but it also let's those regularly bad teams make their selections and clear out some of the yard trash.

Somehow the perennial winners always draft in the last half of the round and yet they keep winning.

The two teams in the SB took swings, even if one of those swings is no longer on the team.

Chiefs: traded up from 27 to 10 to grab Mahomes by trading a 3rd and next year's first in 2017

Eagles: traded up from 13 to 2 for Wentz in 2016 (first trading up from 13 to 8 by trading Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso, then sending 8, a 3rd, a 4th, the following year's first, and a 2nd two years down the line)

Since those respective trades, the Chiefs have been to 5 straight AFC title games and 3 of the last 5 SBs and the Eagles made the playoffs 5 out of the last 6 years, won a SB and just made another.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
