Week 8: Draft Status Update

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

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
