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

      Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

      If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"

      I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

      Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
