You raise a valid point. I see Russell giving them a chance vs going with a qb. I've seen they are high on Dart too. Possible 2nd round or trade up option at the back of 1. 

I still believe Dart is a 3rd or lower guy.

I think this is an all-in move by the current regime to save their jobs

Lightspeed insane deal, pending a lot of it being not guaranteed.

Edit: $26 mil guaranteed is not terrible.

Nor should there be. He's a 3rd string QB.

You could say that about a lot of QBs that do get taken in the 1st though.

I mean, he is extremely obviously a 3rd. 

That system is terrible for producing NFL QB's.

If you want a quick laugh look at this mock draft

One thing I’ve noticed lately is there is no mention whatsoever of Tepper or getting his buy-in when it comes to decision making or anything - contracts, etc. 

so, that’s something

I'm sure he had a meeting with the 3 after the season was over to discuss the plans going forward. He's still in the know, of that I'm certain. They are just leaving him out of the discussions publicly. He will be in the draftroom when the selections are made so even if he keeps his mouth shut his presence alone is a distraction they do not need. But it's his team and he can do whatever da fug he wants with it. I probably would too.

Agree with everything you’re saying- I just (wishfully, perhaps) hear a different tone from this front office. Rhule/Fitt/Reich constantly name dropped “Mr Tepper” in just about any answer about “coming to a decision”; it was like it was engraved in their brain about Tepper being involved in an extension or free agency strategy etc.

We will see some draft time, but for now- it’s a positive and signals what we began to see last season as far as Tepper letting his football staff do, idk, their job.
