I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

[Daddy_Uncle]

We should be in position to get one of the better QBs in the draft. We can't keep ignoring the position. Bryce will never get us over the hump, and we have no NFL worthy backup QBs. We have great young talent at WR, and TE. We need a qb that can distribute the ball to them better and throw the ball down the field.

We don't have great young talent at WR and TE. We have young potential at WR and TE. They are NOT great - yet.

No

I don't know about that man.  We would be picking 16th if the draft started today.  We still have 2 games left against the Saints and regardless of how you feel about us - they look much worse.

I'm 100% down to take a QB in the 1st, but I really doubt we will be in a position to do so.  It isn't a strong class to start with.

It’s not happening so stop kidding yourself.

 They better take a Center/Oline and the Defense needs attention.  No more injured players with high hopes for recovery. Not a great QB class.

This QB draft class kinda sucks. Like the year that we had the 1st pick. I would keep Bryce since it’s the last year of his contract, go after one of the higher end veteran QBs in FA, whoever that will be, and then take a shot on day 2 or 3 on somebody like Haynes King.

At that point, if it fails you can clean house and the new staff has a chance to pick their QB.

Our 1st rounder needs to go towards Edge or LB. Maybe OL but that can probably be handled in Free Agency.

It could be a strong class, but most of the underclassmen are likely go back to school because with NIL the need for a quick payday by going pro is greatly reduced.  Several teams picking ahead of us need QBs too.

Draft 1, hell draft 2 if you have to. Just get some fresh bodies in the damn place.

Bryce is getting a year four, whether he gets the 5th -year option or not.  Don't bank on drafting a first round QB.

[Waldo]

Sure, along with a new HC. This one isn't even a good OC. 

They are going to end up with a top 10 pick as this goes the way it's heading. Bryce isn't winning without a extremely effective run game either and most of the easy games are over and other teams are building up to their playoff runs at this point in the season. That's a bad combo for the team. 

[SmokinwithWilly]

Never force a pick because you need one. Find the best one you can, whether it be in FA or the draft. Desperate teams do stupid things. 

Before we go draft a QB, how about we get a head coach that doesn't lack complete situational awareness and wants to win more than protect feelings. 

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Top 3 rounds for sure. Gotta be Center or Linebacker in the first round imo.

Not against it, clearly, seeing as I'm one of the more vocal anti-Bryce guys on here.

But I'm nowhere near saying that I'm "all in" on it at this point, for many reasons.  Mainly because it's way too early to know where we'll be drafting, what QB's will be actually worth 1st round picks, and who might be there once we're on the clock.

If there is a QB that makes sense, then yes, 100% I'm in.

But reaching and taking the wrong QB will set us back another 5 years.  We're not a piece or two away from contending, but I do think we have a lot of nice building blocks in place that if we go about things the right way the next few offseasons, we have a real shot at being relevant again this decade.
