I am starting to consider a scenario that trading up a little from 39 might not be crazy.

Naw, I hope not we have the entire next day to consider the pick.  I would stay put…plenty of talent left

Please don't take a Center at 33 ffs.  Trade down to take such a low value position.  I'm not saying Center isn't important.  I'm saying its not valuable on the draft board.

there’s a big demographic of people here who distill picks down to nothing more than “I don’t want to draft a bust”

but that’s not the strategy teams employ in the draft. Look at the contract aj brown just got. You’ve got to build an offense with skill players. But you’re not just going to buy an aj brown. You’ve almost always got to draft him.

servicable center play can be bought for next to nothing, and a good center isn’t adding any wins to your win total versus an average center.

the one thing they can’t do is go center at 33. Maximize value.

Last thing we need is a rookie HC/OC, Bryce, and a rookie C. Another situation where you can't figure out who to blame so you just keep making stupid decisions afterwards

An older Adam Theilen and Diontae Johnson is not exactly a stellar group of receivers.

i don’t think a rookie C starts until mid season at the earliest, maybe not even until next year

Unfortunately the alternative is no-knees Corbett with Cade Mays as backup. That ain’t it.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
