I think we end up closer to 10

We very well could end up splitting with the Bucs due to their injuries, beating the Cowboys and Arizona seems to really struggle when travelling all the way to Charlotte. Atlanta could end up resting all their starters the last week too

Even 2 more wins combined with all the bad teams this year puts us way back. Some of those bad teams do still play each other but unless we lose out (I doubt that happens) we’re going to be closer to 10

Regardless, I'll probably rather go defense first, then pick a second round QB, like Ewers, even if we have to trade a few spots to get the top second round qb.

If Young’s as bad as everybody says he is then yeah, it is plausible. 

We have some divisional games and also Dallas, who may have a worse QB situation.

We are also considerably higher in SOS so we lose most tie breakers.

Even if Bryce started stinking it up, we would likely just switch back to Dalton.

I agree on most of this but Arizona is a REALLY bad matchup for us. A bruising running game and very mobile QB. That is perfectly made to march all over our defense.

This is one of the tighest races for the bottom I have seen in a while.

Sign a veteran bridge QB (or re-sign Andy for this role).

 

Draft Cam Ward.

 

Let bridge QB start and Cam sit and learn for a bit.

 

Profit.

I agree on Ward. But at this point it is a nonstarter to consider keeping Dalton. He has been only marginally better than Bryce Young and those two stinkers against the Bears and Commanders are why we were one of the only teams to seek out his services. Need to look elsewhere.

Horn is an elite CB. Fields will be on his third team in five years next season.

We got one of the worst defenses in the leagues with Horn. A QB is always better value than a corner. And look at the Bears it’s not like Caleb is lighting it up with even more help.
 

He played winning football and has shown far more flashes than Bryce. 
 

I wanted him then and he’s the best path forward still today.

Yeah I'd rather keep Dalton, fields can't see the field or make good decisions

Fields is the play and it’s been the play since we drafted Horn over him. Sign him. 

Having Fields would just put us in QB purgatory. Not good enough to win in the playoffs, not bad enough to draft high enough to get a QB. Fields is literally the worst possible scenario. Give me another season of Young over Fields

Talk about purgatory.

You're blaming Jaycee Horn because we gutted the defense to reallocate significant resources to the offense in order to attempt to make Bryce Young look like a real QB?

Yeah Fields is what he is. He’ll never be the type to pick apart a defense but he can run like hell and throw a very pretty deep ball. 

You can work with that. Doubt it’ll win you a superbowl but it could probably get you to the playoffs pending the rest of the roster

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
