Exactly.  We need to stay put and take a non-QB or trade back and do the same thing if wed can find a trading partner.  Edge is a HUGE need.  We need to find our next Peppers in this draft.

I'm not against drafting a QB depending on who we can get in FA.  I kind of like Ward as of now, but a lot can change...  Edge is a huge need, I'm just not sure there is one worth the top pick.  If we trade down it really opens up our options.

People are getting it now.  I am seeing this posted more and more. Obviously, I am in complete agreement.

I get it, I really do and not totally opposed to it, but by doing this you are basically ensuring at least 2 more shitty seasons at the very least.  I think we have to pick a guy this year even if its a project to have someone that is potentially developing.  Rolling with a vet next year feels like another top 5 pick.

We will be set up just to fail just like when we took Gerber two drafts ago and didn't have the supporting cast around him.  I mean Tepper loves repeating the same mistakes, so I don't see why he would stop now.  This team is so bad that we will have a top 5 or top 10 pick in '26 anyway--vet or rookie QB next year, it doesn't matter.  My contention is build the team and get the rookie QB in a seemingly much deeper QB in '26.  Hopefully by then we have more pieces on the team to help the rookie.  If we go the veteran route and the dude is at lest decent, we don't have to rush the rookie into the lineup right away in '26.

I think the next qb we draft has to sit regardless.  I dont think there is any negative drafting a kid and making him sit 8-10 games whatever.  I know people can point to cam, Daniels this season or whoever, but there is a laundry list of guys thrown to the wolves that have damn near ruined them professionally

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
