This thread is just going to be a bunch of mangled ideas together. You can say which ones you agree with and which ones you would hate.

-If Andrew Luck comes out and we get the #1 overall, we gotta select him and not trade down.

-If Andrew Luck doesn't come out, and we have the #1 overall, here is where things get interesting

Personally, I would be ok with trading down or keeping the pick and getting someone like Marcell Dareus, AJ Green or Patrick Peterson. Let's say we keep it. I would be hoping for Dareus. Even though I think the other two players are better at their respective positions, DT is such a huge need for us, I don't see us going any other way.

However, if we don't keep it, and trade down, I wouldn't be opposed to grabbing a QB like Cam Newton. Looking at players that have similar body types/playing styles, some interesting comparable are Rothelisberger and Josh Freeman. Not too shabby, and hopefully, we would be able to get at least our 2nd round pick back

So many threads have been devoted to Andrew Luck. I want to hear what everybody else would do if Luck doesn't come out or we don't have the #1 overall.

That's a really interesting question. I think you would have to seriously consider Cam Newton. The thing about him is I think he needs to go to a team with a creative offensive coach. The worst thing to happen to him would be to have a conservative coach try and drill into him not to make mistakes because that's not really his style. It would probably be a D-lineman though. I prefer Quinn over Bowers and Fairley over Dareus from what I've seen of them. Green and Peterson/Amukamara are options but WR's and DB's very rarely go that high in the draft.

if andrew luck doesn't come out, no one will want to trade up. market will be really thin. we would be reashing for whomever we picked. it isn't all that great of a draft.

non-luck guys i want...green, peterson, fairley, newton.

with any luck, if luck doesn't come out, we'll still suck next year and be able to take luck the following year. give clausen another chance. if he shows up. fine. if not, thanks for all the fish.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
