2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

I think SH should be on the roster, but good luck selling a fanbase that you're taking a tackle instead of a high rated QB when we're in position to get one. If you do that and SH poops the bed again, everyone's going to be screaming to fire everyone.

What is the probability that we take a QB at #2? I'd say over 95%. I think we'd be making a huge mistake to not take one of the three QB's who are nearly unanimously considered by GM's to be potential Franchise QB's. So I can't imagine that we'd draft a Tackle at #2 or trade down. The only disaster we risk is by not drafting a QB at #2 and thereby failing to acquire a young Franchise QB. IMO, getting the right QB is so important that we are more likely to trade up to #1 to ensure getting the QB of our choice than we are to make any other move.

they are like lottery tickets you got keep scratching them until you find a winner

Yeah I totally agree, but I wonder if they had gotten Sam Darnold, who was first choice over the shit show Mariota, what the response would have been here.

With Mariota, it seals it for me that QB 1 will be taken at 2. But if it was Darnold, then I probably be thinking trade down/WR at 2.

There is a higher chance of it snowing today in DC than us not taking a QB at 2 or 1

You're not wrong. As much as everyone hated Dan, a lot of them sure have his patience. 🤷

So we have a very early night watching day 1 of the draft And a late night draft party on Friday!

edit:

I actually think we will take some of those day two picks and trade up back into mid to late day one

I like the idea of trading back up for a T in round 1 or getting more picks in 2 & 3 to grab 2 of them, a CB and a TE. I don't like the idea of moving up to #1.

We seriously need help on our OL beyond C, which we secured in FA. It was a huge reason to Howell's lack of progression.

Come on man. Sam Darnold? I would want him far away from the field too. Not as far as Mariota but far. I am not passing on this draft class for Sam Darnold. If anything we trade back into the first and grab an OT. If not we get him on day two. Five picks and still alot of areas of need , TE, WR, OT x 2, G, CB, Edge, FS. All needs. Some more than others but all needs. It is amazing what Rivera did to this roster that we could go get 8-10 new starters and still have so many areas of need.
