Early NFL offseason chatter

Yep. Vrabel is official. Saw speculation he might try to get Josh McDaniels back as his OC.

Rumors also have talk of Ben Johnson to the Raiders "heating up". Tom Brady is said to be practically begging him to take the job.

The Bears is the only job that would be attractive to me if I was Johnson. Way more talent than Las Vegas and they actually have a good young QB versus the Raiders who have the worst QB roster in the NFL.

I remember the debates on here over the Watson pursuit.

I'm not high on Williams.

I am way higher on Williams than Minshew/O'Connell/Ridder.

That's a 2nd stringer and two 3rd/PS players.

I think they pick sixth, but they could also pull a veteran and wait for their future QB.

After what Johnson did with Goff, that's definitely an option.

[Mr. Scot]

Started as a scout in Carolina...

Every time we've had a GM opening, he's been rumored or suggested, but it never happened.

Ward and Sanders will be off the board by 6. The gulf between those two and the next group of QB's is pretty massive. 

Not sure I would want to be overdrafting a QB in this draft.

[Mr. Scot]

I can't be the only one who thinks Ron taking the helm at Chicago would be a cool story.

Would he be successful? Don't know...but it would be cool.

Then they'd go with a veteran and wait to pick their franchise guy. 

I'd add the word that the Raiders want no part of Deion makes me doubt they'd be interested in Shedeur anyway.

Oh they would definitely be interested in Sanders(and reportedly are). Deion has nothing to do with it.

 

What veteran? Russell Wilson maybe? I don't think there is much beyond him, if he is even available.

Raiders have Brock Bowers who had the best rookie TE season in NFL history lol. They also have a solid WR in Jacobi Meyers. They do need a QB and RB . They haven't had a good QB in a quite a while and likely won't be drafting one unless they give up a haul of picks for Sheddur or Ward. Or take a flyer on Milroe  or get lucky with late round qb like the Ohio State QB, Rourke from Indiana, Kyle McCord from Syracuse. Maybe Quinn Ewers if he comes out

Just not a good year for qbs in the draft. They might also try to sign Darnold or Cousins or something.

I think they'll draft a QB outside of R1,  and also pick up a different vet qb

And this is why I think Johnson will not have interest in LV. The lack of QB makes any offensive genius struggle. Ask Daboll.

I still believe this is Chicago or staying in Detroit for Johnson.
