The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread

Allen Robinson impressed me this season. He wound up on my fantasy team, and no matter what the nagging injury was, this dude showed up and played ... and played well. And that's with up-and-down QB play in Chitown too.

Having him opposite Terry would be very nice.

But ...

I bet Samuel gets a long look. I assume he has history with Rivera and Turner. His versatility would add to the offensive dimensions that Gibson, McKissic, and Logan Thomas have all shown this year.

I would be thrilled if we got Samuel, assuming the price is right. He's young, solid and dependable. Def a fan of that idea more than going after a guy like Allen Robinson. No high priced free agents. We got plenty of our own guys that deserve long term deals.

I think he's a perfect fit with Terry. He is #1 on my FA dream list. He is under-appreciated.

Not until 2023.

Looks like he's due 33 Mil next year, and 26 Mil the following year...

Well it comes down to this for me, do you think he is as good as Tannehill. Same age as him. That's my bar for signing a FA QB and in my opinion if Stafford was starting here for 16 games we would be 11-4 right now. His injury history is the only thing that would worry me, and you can draft a QB in the middle rounds while he is on that 2 year deal

Well with this QB carousel we had this year, the team is only 10 points away from being a 10 win team. I don't think you need to add a massive contract and give away players / picks to get someone that will be a significant upgrade.

One option I would explore is taking a look at CJ Beathard as a stop gap, if we have to draft in the 19th and up positions. He was a 3rd round pick by boy genius Shanarat and has gotten better over the years. He will be a FA this offseason, we can draft someone like Trask or Jones in the 2nd round and give him a year to develop.

Very interested to see how high both of these guys go. I feel like 19 is too high for either but also wouldn't be upset with either at 19 if we picked them.

I don't think either one will be around at our pick in the 2nd round.

Desmond Ridder could be an intriguing option that's growing on me, here are a couple of articles on him. We can watch him action on the Peach Bowl this Friday.
