Draft Connections

Funny thing I noticed looking at trade up scenarios: We have front office connections with almost all of the top six teams in the draft right now.

At #1, Bears Co-Director of Player Personnel Jeff King not only played tight end here under John Fox but was also a teammate of new VP of Player Personnel Adrian Wilson in Arizona.

Speaking of Wilson, he's obviously well connected to the Cardinals who sit at #3. Some calls could certainly be made there.

At #4 is the Colts, who despite his departure are said to still have a good relationship with Head Coach Frank Reich.

Coming in at #6 you have the Rams, from whom we just obtained our new OC and DB Coach as well as our DC (thru Denver).

And of course, there's the Seahawks at #5 who have a close connection to both our GM and our Assistant GM.

The question, of course, becomes which connection we'll call on...

...but hey, at least we have options 😁

So if the Panthers do trade with the bears: who will we target in your opinion Mr Scot? Young or Stroud

Don't know other than probably not Anthony Richardson given what Joe Person said.

They're said to like Will Levis a lot.

Shouldn’t Levis be available at 1R3?  Who likes Levis better than Stroud and Young except apparently the Panthers?

Possibly.

Reich raved about Bryce Young in his presser, but of course you've got the size concerns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
