Rivera And Hurney Offer Tidbits On Thursday About Who We Might Draft

I really don't think it will be coples. There is a great chance Perry, Curry, or Jones will be available for us in the 2nd. They all offer great pass rushing ability. We address a different need in the 1st. I hope we can trade back and add another second or 3rd. I really think that is something Hurney is hoping for the way he has been talking. Glad he said there is no chance we trade up.

We're not dealing with obvious A+ potential impact here. Sometimes you have to go with your gut, and get lucky.

Rivera knows best. I am not gonna cry about the pick, nor lose any sleep over it. I am just going to appreciate it when it happens.

He's happy with our current WR but still brings close to 8 top ranked WRs prospects in this draft for a visit? Smokescreen!!!!

That's what I'm saying. It seems obvious as the nose on our faces, but some still want to deny that it exists. They even signed a WR we never heard of...aaahhh, perhaps he's just for special teams (as he works with Cam).

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
