Why we won't get the #1 pick

As Daniel Jeremiah said the other day

 

 

 


“If you like one of these QBs, you have to take them.  There’s no assurances you’ll have a top 2 pick next year. And if you get 3.  1 and 2 aren’t going to trade off those guys.”

“You can’t afford to play the waiting game”

 

 

you can have all the picks.  AND #3

Teams at the top aren’t moving off that level of QB prospect.

This is what people aren't understanding.  Waiting next year for Maye/Williams is far from a guarantee.  The bottom two teams aren't trading those picks if those 2 players have great years again.  Our roster is too strong for us to have a bottom 2 pick, so we are going to have to trade up or draft a guy that needs some coaching developing which is what we hired Reich for.

Matt Miller isn’t the best for Draft mocking. He was a joke of a GM for years

Pretty sure you're thinking of Matt MilleN, who is a different person than Matt MilleR lol. Matt Miller joined ESPN last year from Bleacher Report:

Miller, Bleacher Report’s former lead NFL Draft writer from 2010-21, will also be a regular on ESPN studio shows including Get Up!, SportsCenter, and NFL Live leading up to the NFL Draft each year. Viewers can also expect appearances from Miller on multiple Mock Draft specials, ESPN Radio and more, including expertise on NFL free-agent storylines.

Prior to Bleacher Report, Miller worked as Director of Scouting for New Era Scouting from 2006-10 and was a coach and recruiting coordinator for the CFL’s Joplin Crusaders from 2006-08. A native of the Joplin, Missouri area, Miller attended Missouri Southern State University and gives back to the community he grew up in through his 417 Foundation, which supports children in southwest Missouri.

I haven’t read through this entire thread, but Chicago really has the chance to make out like bandits in this draft. It merely takes trading down to #2 with Houston and then playing Indy to trade down to #4. The Bears still get one of the top defensive guys and get several more picks to build out their roster.

I think they give Ridder a full year.  He was suppose to be a bit of a project and looked ok towards the end of the year when he got playing time.  If I were them I would roll with Ridder and if he doesn't grow/develop look into next year's class which might be pretty deep.

how is that any different with us and Corral. Corral has talent and is an unknown.  if we are hungry for a QB and in position, why aren't they?

The coach/ staff that picked Ridder is still there, he actually played in NFL games and looked capable. Reich is going to want to pick his guy and Corral gave him 0 reasons to believe in him.

This

And just look at the overall roster.  People bitch and moan about our defense.  But the fact is, we have a whole lot more to work with on that side, and it’s not Close.

We have a better OL in place (if Bozeman is resigned)

We have a Number 1 WR locked in.  We’re just in a better position now to drop in a QB.

Fixed

Everybody needs to be prepared for us not to get a QB and Reich may either have to find a vet or give Corral a chance. 

Because we may want to move up and get a QB we may not want to pay the price or we may not find trade partners.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
