Burns + Moton + both 2023 2nd round picks should be enough imo.

Trade back from #9 to acquire more picks. Target a tackle to replace Moton (Broderick Jones?) and I like Isaiah Foskey at DE/EDGE. 

That would also free up ~$20mil in 2023 cap savings that can be used to secure an off ball LB and safety. 

Draft TE Sam LaPorta with our 3rd round pick and a RB (Spears/Abanikanda/Mitchell) with one of our 4ths then we’re ready to roll. 

The script for the "Titanic" remake.

QB: Brissett

RT: Moton

DE: Burns

+ two 2nd round picks

 

OR

 

QB: #1 pick in 2023 draft 

RT: Broderick Jones

DE: Isaiah Foskey or other 2nd/3rd rounder acquired through trade back

+ $20mil in cap to spend on FAs

 

I know which choice I’m taking. The one that should secure the most important position on the field.

Just as risky, yes, but a bigger class means missing won't hamstring us for nearly as long because the need to move up to the top 3 won't be necessary.

You’re predicting a bigger class that might not happen while predicting this team will be bad enough to be close to any of the prospects.. A lot of if’s and maybe in this plan as well.. While right now we have a top 10 pick and the amino to move up.. Maybe you don’t like this class but overall this is a solid class of QB.. Strike while the you’re in position to.. Don’t wait and fall into trap looking at a worst situation trying to move up next year..

Say good bye to Burns. LoL 

Oof. Could you imagine declining the rams trade just to trade him now?

For a similar/equivalent haul? Yes.

And that opinion of waiting next year is a lot of hoping and praying and either as risky or even a bigger risk..

Waiting next year? A team should rarely draft a 1st round QB to be a franchise QB. Patience with a philosophy, system, and developed KPIs is more important. Drafting a QB in the 1st round is the worst way to find a QB for franchise success.

Only 8 1st round QBs have won a SB for the coach that drafted them. Teams rebuilding without SB leadership from the previous regime have been successful 5 times with a 1st round QB. A rebuilding team with no championship leadership is better off going with a 30 year old experience FA, add a young QB to develop, and use the 1st round pick on DT/LB or a freakish receiver.

The correct fit with a 1st round QB will eventually be there if the other QBs cannot win at a championship level. Have the team ready for that QB.

If they didn’t trade him then, why would they now?

Pretty surprising people still think fit aka Rhule’s GM is legit after that idiocy. Maybe it’ll come to light when they pay him out the ass soon. Even Hurney would’ve taken that move.

Saving 24/25 firsts by offering Burns in a trade up scenario is the only way to redeem that but that is slim. Rams’ offer was to severely overpay and no team will match that…yet Fit was too dumb to pull the trigger which shocked pretty much every analyst out there.

Sure, but they could have used those firsts from the rams trade to help with that now, would he get a similar offer now?

Based on the actual players, not trash at all.The trash is the

Pre set value of the

simulator. Again, real world vs theoretical wins everytime.

Couple this draft with a Carr or Jones and we are instant winners.

Teading up and giving away picks for any of the "top 4" puts us in a 3 yr window if uncertainty at best  Even I am certain already if the outcome.But hey,it would give you more chances to school us on another draft where we sell the teams future down the river.
