So who do you want with our 3rd overall pick?

Do people actually want Cam to be mobile?

Sure, it's exciting and an additional weapon, but if I had to choose I'd take pocket passer Cam over mobile Cam any day of the week. I want him to have as much time as possible before he has to take off scrambling.

Kalil >>>>>>>

:iagree:

Clearly the coaches and Cam have focused on developing his game as a pocket passer. They've drawn up some designed runs here and there, but you can tell they're stressing stability in the pocket way over mobility.

If we have a top 5 pick we have to go offense or trade down.

Top 5 picks(just based on BPA)

1. Luck

2. Kalil

3. Barkley

4. Blackmon

5. Jones

Other possible

Richardson

Jeffrey

Martin

The best defensive player in the draft is Claiborne who COULD be a top 5 pick but probably will go in the 8-10 range.

If we have a top 2-3 pick we would be reaching but it may be worth it. Even if we have the 2nd or 3rd pick some other team may be willing to trade up and snag one of the QBs.

The top 3 QBs in this class have potential to be really really good.

Yeah, even with Andrew Luck most likely going first, there's going to be other teams chomping at the bit to get at Matt Barkley.

Some are saying Barkley is comparable to Luck. I personally disagree with that but it's a quarterback league and while we may not be able to take a teams entire draft like we could with Luck, the #2 pick will be pretty valuable.

I'm not cool with dropping down more than 10 spots though.

I agree.

10 spots will be a lot, and we would miss out on a lot of needed picks in that situation.

However, if we're sitting at #2, and if the Team B is at #7, I say we take that trade, as well as a 3rd (or a 2nd, if we could get it.)

this is a nightmare of a situation right now because presently we have a ton of needs (RT/future LT, WR2, NT, OLB, CB maybe). If this team had been performing better maybe 2 of those needs wouldn't be pressing, but the only thing we can hope for is that a lot of the guys that are in there are going to get better and grow in the system. After all the money we shelled out this season at least 3 of those contracts are on IR, and DeAngelo's contract wasn't smart spending. His money could've went to a. being saved, b. a good FA DT, c. a good FA corner, and on and on. So because Hurney thinks that no decent FA from another team can improve this team even a smidge, we retained a guy whose role in this offense is like 1/3rd of what it was in the previous offense we had. DeAngelo's started all nine games and isn't even close to having 100 carries yet. It's probably going to be week 12 when he finally hits that milestone, and he's not even being used as a weapon in the passing game more than sporadically.

stop being so fuging stingy when it comes to bringing in outside help

Dwill signings in this offense was a huge mistake. Have a ton of money going to one player who touches the ball maybe 10 times a game if that. Isn't near the blocker that Stewart is or Receiving threat.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
