But yes if you do draft the QB it sends a message to Bryce that we are not 100% confident in you, and that could be detrimental. So I take it back. Do not draft a QB. But if they did, man that would be very interesting.

If he can't take the pressure of a 2nd or 3rd rounder pushing him he ain't it anyway. It's not like Bama wasn't recruiting the best QBs they could get to sign every year.

I saw an article recently that said if Cousins walks to expect them to sign Sam Darnold to start. That was a quality chuckle.

Surely that's a stop-gap measure and not a permanent solution.  That would not preclude them for drafting a QB, though.  They have to know Darnold will just good enough to keep them from the top of the draft board for the next season or two, so drafting a QB should still be in the plans this April.  Plus, that give the rookie a chance to sit if need be.

We're not getting Pittman, Ridley, or Higgins. Enjoy 2024, gents.

If anyone thinks we are drafting anything other than a WR in the second round, they are delusional.  Heck, even with only six picks, it's very likely we double dip at WR in the draft.

And the Broncos paying Russ like $38M 

Yeah, he was able to take the minimum to go to the Steelers, which isn’t a bad call at all. Heck, if he took more, the Broncos might have a clause to claw some back. If that’s the case, I would give my new team the full discount.

If not Pittman, I’m fine with passing on the other two unless the money was team-friendly, which it wouldn’t be.

#IncomingHotTakeAlert

Don't be surprised if Higgins is a bust elsewhere.

I’m a Clemson fan but if he comes here, he will absolutely be a bust. He’s not on the top tier level. He’s a top tier WR2, not a WR1 like Chase. He’s obviously a top 32 WR so he would be the top WR for a lot of teams, like us, but I don’t think he’s elite enough to be the top WR on a team like ours (weapons and QB deficient.

It'll be more stupidity then.

There were reports awhile back that the Pats would go vet for QB. Brissett is in that good backup/marginal starter category. If they're signing him so the #3 overall pick isn't necessarily forced into action if he's not ready and to be a vet mentor that makes a lot of sense. If they're signing him as the answer so they can go WR at #3 that's laughable.

Probably a safety net for the likely scenario that their drafted QB is not really ready in year one. I think that is a reasonable assumption to make.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
