Cam has spoken: He'd draft Young

That's my initial thought.  But are there any strategic reasons for keeping it a secret? 

Yeah, but it's highly unlikely to happen. 

Let's say that our highest rated QB is Young, but we think Levis & Stroud are close seconds. We play everything close to the vest & a few days before the draft... well, yesterday happens. A story drops about how we're really gonna pick Levis. 

Houston really wants Levis, big time, so they start offering trades, at some point their GM slips & we are now 99% sure that they want Levis & are scared we're gonna take him.

We respond to their trade offer with something insane like their #2 pick this year, & their 1st & 2nd rounders in '24 and '25. 

They reject that. Then a photo comes out with Reich talking to someone in front of a white board & at the top you can just make out an "L" right before his head obscures the rest of what's there. 

Houston panics, & offers #2, & #12 (iirc) this year, & their 1st & 2nd rounder next year, plus a player at a position we need to shore up. 

We take the deal, they get Levis, & we get a nice haul of picks especially regaining a 1st next year. 

Or they pick Young & yell "Haha! Gotcha!" & we say "Cool" & pick Levis or Stroud, BPA at #12, & go on about our business knowing we easily won that trade.

Now again, this is a pipe dream. If this happens, I can apparently see the future, so the next billion dollar jackpot numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 32.

 

Short version, some team might panic & greatly "over pay" in a trade.

If it's who I think it is (the previously misspelled Bryce Young guy) that's his second ban in like a week or so.

(not counting any other IDs he might have previously been banned under)

It was him and we noticed it right after he joined and started posting. We were just kind of curious before he started trying to meet up and fight someone again. He veered from his usual poo.

Iirc, pre-CBA teams were already starting to negotiate contracts with some players before the draft.

Yep, I seem to remember Sam Bradford having that huge contract in place before he was even drafted. 

The weird thing is the NFL wants suspense and ratings leading to the first pick...which is often the least suspenseful. The gamesmanship starts at pick 2.

    • I usually don’t get attached in that way to player issues. I mostly observe. Not gonna go into Cam and Jake because this is going to be long enough already.  I just was so against taking him because I looked at him pre draft - since it was made into such a major crossroads for the team with that trade. I could see right away it was a horrible mistake once Inlooked at his video. And couldn’t believe that pro people overlooked that stuff. Just unbelievable. Still is.  But even pre draft, and certainly post draft and camp… every time I said “hmm, have you guys seen this with his arm, with his footwork, the tippy toe drop back with the square to the line stuff, it all adds time to the play and how is that gonna work against actual NFL defenders? The margins are already so slim even for people with great arms etc etc” I was met with torrents of scorn and ‘processor” and ‘SEC is the NFL’ and everything else they were fed. People wouldn’t open their eyes they just were always telling me to find another team blah blah, idiot, all kinds of hateful poo. While I am being called the hater lol.  That made it bigger than him for me. Way bigger. But, I and all the naysayers have already been proven right. He was not worth the trade or his draft position. That is in the books. Now it is new goalposts. Can he even be salvaged? Was it worth building this offense around him just to save face over the investment? Is he worth the 5th year? The 4th year even? That is what is in doubt now.   
    • Why did Rod healthy scratch Nikishin??
    • Could have been worse than a 1 goal deficit
