That’s usually how #1 picks go….they always go to the team with the most needs.

Those teams usually have assets to build around the number 1 pick as well. And guess what, we don't have any. If recent precedent is any example, we will also make the wrong pick here. The last two notable guys who were traded up for in the Top 10 were Rosen and Trubisky. Then you get into the Jets run of QB's in Darnold and Zach Wilson.

Our pick needs to be Stroud or no one else, in my opinion. He's the only guy worth the number 1. Maybe Young works out but he is just so small that physics says he probably won't be able to stay healthy (look at Tua). A lot of Young's throws have been to wide open receivers after getting 3 to 5 seconds to throw.

Seeing how Stroud played against UGA makes him the undisputed number one guy in the draft, in my opinion. He had the single best game against them in quite some time. He made a ton of NFL throws, under pressure reminiscent of the NFL, playing against basically an entire defense that will be in the NFL.

If it's Levis, dumb decision because we could've had him at 5 or 6. Richardson? Probably could've waited until 9. Young? Probably going to be injury prone at his size. Brees and Russell are small guys but they are built differently than Young.

It is truly insane to me that people are upset we traded for the number one pick 

Some people question the plan here. We don't have the assets to build around the number 1 pick and the talent base of this offense is literally the worst in the NFL. So maybe we will have a decent offense by Year 3 of Reich, but this 1st year is going to be rough and I'd hate to ruin a number 1 pick by having them throw to Shenault, Shi Smith, Terrace Marshall, and Ian Thomas. 

Think about that for a minute. It's quite literally the worst receiving group in the NFL and it isn't even close. Then we have Blackshear and Chubba under contract at running back.

Then we have a transition to a 3-4 defense coming. 

So people aren't upset, they just don't see how this is going to work in the foreseeable future. It reeks of Tepper wanting a cash cow to me. He wants to be noticed. That's it. It's not about winning because if it were, trading down amd developing the talent base of the entirety of the roster would've been the better move here. Could've had potential stars on the lines, tight ends, running back, edge rusher, safety, corner, etc. 

Now we traded all of that for one pick, along with DJ Moore...

So yeah. People are wondering how this is going to work.

Brees has 2 inches on Young.

So? Height doesn't really matter when it comes to durability. This is Kevin Durant. He's 6'10". Would his height help him hold up in the NFL? He's averaging 5.3 assists a game this season which is just as good or better than some point guards, so he can pass. Would his height help him be a better QB in the NFL??

The answers are no. These height arguments are silly. If a guy can play the game well he can play in the NFL regardless of height.

What do you mean we don't have the assets?? We have 6 draft picks in each of the next 3 drafts and cap money starting next year!

Durant plays a non-contact sport.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
