It seems the Cowboys have a boner for Jeanty.  Maybe we can get them to bite with the illusion of him being the target for us.

DIdn't they want Brooks too?

Johnson seems to be beneficiary of a seemingly weak CB class, certainly top echelon ones.  Granted I haven't dove into the draft as much this season as prior years, but I have yet to see glowing reviews for him.  Stated like this, would he be a top 10 CB in a stacked CB class?  Similar to the QBs this draft, Sanders and Ward would have been second round selections in last years QB class.

And WR class, which is why I backed off on TMac.  I read that he would have been 4th overall WR taken last year---stuck in my head.

I don't think anyone is trading up unless someone falls in love with the 3rd qb and thinks the saints are going to take them.  Assuming that would be milroe having a killer combine. To me I'd rather stay at 8 and let the saints reach for a qb instead of trading back to 18 for the seahawks or 21 to the steelers

Our spot could potentially be trade bait for taking Tyler Warren.  He’s mocked around where we pick or slightly after.  A team may want to leap frog the Saints to get him.

On the flip side, if we trade back 4,5, or 6 spots and he's still on the board, I'm down to draft him.  I'm not against a Rd1 TE, just not in the top 10.

I think Baltimore, KC, Miami, LA Rams, and a few others will want one of the top 2 OTs and they get ripe around the back of the top 10.  We shall see.

It would be ideal if Jaxson Dart could scam some team into thinking he’s worth a top 10 pick.

Yes, they did want Brooks and that's why we moved up to stick it to them.  Well, we stuck it to ourselves in typical Panthers fashion.  They are wanting their next generation Zeke. A proven bell cow on a rookie deal so they can pay their other stars.

As far as T-Mac goes, stud WRs are game changers.  That WR class last year was so loaded that he while would have gone later than Harrison Jr., Nabers and perhaps Odunze, the first two were considered can't miss prospects.  That's not a knock on T-Mac as much as how sure-fire talents the top two guys were.

Personally I'm done with the "trade a quarter for 2 dimes and a nickel" Fitterer logic so I say stay put and take a top prospect regardless. No matter how the top 7 picks play out there will be a damn good player available and we should take that player based on the fact we have needs across the board.

I feel the same.  Worst case I’m taking Warren and not feeling bad about it.

He's got to have one heck of a Combine and Pro Day.  As of now, he's seemingly overtaken Ewers for QB3, but not enough to jump all the way to the first round, let alone the top 10.  My gut tells me a team like the Raiders or Saints will jump on him at the top of the second round.  The only team at the back of the first round possibly needing a QB is Pittsburgh, that's if they don't keep Fields or Wilson.

JJ McCarthy pulled it off.  It can be done.

It would take someone shooting up the boards to change my mind but the guys I want us to take early should be gone by 8 so I'm hoping for a trade back. Getting an extra pick in the top 100 picks would also be a bigger win than an offensive pick or CB at 8 IMO.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
