I absolutely get the skepticism and the frustration from that surrounding the concerns about our likely pick at 1. But I still feel optimistic and I'm happy we are actually trying to develop our own guy rather than bringing in another retread. That being said I really hope our OL is as advertised and holds up through the season. I also want to see the addition of another offensive weapon or two from this draft. I know we are still a foundationally defensive team but if our rookie QB is to thrive give him as much chance as possible and don't make the same mistakes as the last few regimes when we had a franchise QB.

I'd love to see them walk away from this draft with a couple of new pass catchers, whether it's multiple receivers, another tight end, a pass-catching back or whatever. The best rookie QB's have an adequate amount of weapons surrounding them and our core right now is okay but they can definitely improve it. I hope the plan for the '24 offseason is throw a bag at a top receiver who slips into free agency because this next FA Class at receiver could have some legit names in there.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
