If... AR drops to 9, do you take him then?

Personally I think his floor is us at 9, Seattle just resigned Geno so the urgency to take a QB might not be there. But if Richardson dropped to 9 there’s no damn way he’s getting past us.

I almost think Seattle resigning Geno makes it more likely they take AR. It would be a perfect situation where he can sit, learn and develop behind Geno.

All these teams are in need of a QB now. Teams behind us in the draft might try to trade up for the  #1 Chicago  pick   #3 Arizona pick, or Detroit at #6 etc.. 

So just saying " trade up" isn't as easy as we on the message board thinks.  There are others saying the same thing.

2 Texas

4 Indianapolis

5 Seattle  ( geno smith contract is 3 years, they'll need to draft one at some point )

7 Las Vegas  

8 Atlanta

9 Carolina 

11 Tennessee

12  Texans again , 

13 NY Jets

19 Tampa Bay

I would be ok taking him at 9.  His post season rise feels like qbs with the media after every season.  Somehow after the combine every year a couple qbs always randomly end up "rising" a lot in the eyes of the talking heads but when the draft comes it doesnt normally happen at all.  Look at Willis last year.   Teams knew he was going to test great in the physical and he did.  Im not sure how that made his value suddenly become much higher.  Broad jump and vertical are pretty low down my list of most desirable qb skill priorities.

I trade back and take Robinson or some other skill guy and use my 2nd on Hooker with a bridge QB.

Levis, Young, or Stroud by some miracle at 9 I would take them. 

Hendon Hooker will not last till the second round. 

and will probably go ahead of Richardson

easy? no. i doubt many think it is.

expensive? it will definitely be that.

necessary? it is definitely that

we're going to make a serious attempt to trade up. there is very little chance that we sit back at 9 and wait for anyone unless some other team is mortgaging several years worth of draft capital.

i'm sure that Fitt doesn't just have the green light to be aggressive in getting a top 4 pick, but he's probably been directed by Tepper to get it. 

this team isn't going to mess around. some in here may not like it, but they are going to have to get used to the idea that this team is going to do everything it can to ensure they get one of those top guys.

the only real option outside of those 4 is Lamar and i don't see that as all that desirable for the team compared to getting one of these top guys in the draft.

It's still hard for me to believe that 3 qb's go before 9. I'm not buying the hype around these guys and neither are most GMs and coaches.  I think the Raiders sign Jimmy G before the draft. Seattle and Carroll sticks with Geno because Pete does not want to develop a rookie at this stage in his career. I don't care what Pete  says it's just smoke trying to get someone to trade up with them for more picks.

Don't you remember last year? 23 qbs went in the top ten.

I think for once I feel at ease to let the professionals do their job. We have a Dream Team staff. And even if we take Hooker at 9, I would trust they know what they are doing. 

It's a good feeling to actually trust the coaching staff for once.

The trust will last as long as there's a chance they draft a qb that some fans are drooling over. As soon as they draft a qb that some here do not want then it will be this staff are idiots and do not know a damn thing about qb's.  Mark it down.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
