2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

At this moment before the late games the Pats are back ahead of us. They have pick #2 we're at #3. Need the Chiefs and Chargers to win.

Everything I can find still has us at #2.

That makes too much sense and most here will bitch about it. People forget we won with Doug Williams and Mark Rypien, they had their great moments but overall were slightly above average.

Because it is stupid. First of all Doug Williams was a 1st round QB, and this isnt the 1980s NFL, you do not win without top level QB play.

Not to mention we traded down and passed on JJ Watt and then recently traded down and passed up on Kyle Hamilton and Chris Olave

They are gonna sit at pick 2 or 3 and take their QB.

Assuming both us and the Patriots lose out and finish 4-13, it is possible for the Patriots to jump back ahead of us to No. 3 depending on how other games go. Here's an article from the Patriot's POV. Assuming, we basically want to root for every team they are rooting against:

Note - Patriots play the Jets at home in Week 18. I hope they make all the scoreboard watching moot, and just win that game.

It would be great if Pats and Cards both win next week. That would give us the 2nd pick in all rounds of the draft instead of rotating with the teams that we are tied with.

The Pats can jump ahead of us the Cardinals cant unless we lose

It wouldn't surprise me if the new GM traded back from 3 to 5 and got an a few additional picks in the early mid rounds.....this is in addition to already having two 2nds and two 3rds.....

That would absolutely surprise me and be the worst idea when you need a QB and two are potentially starring you right in the face.

Yeah I don't see why anyone would be mad at this either... This franchise will have a new identity next week and a new QB being picked by that new Regime in April. Regardless if you think Caleb Williams is a weirdo or if you think Drake Maye is overrated being from UNC.. One of those 2 QBs will be in Washington

The last time we picked 2nd we fucked it up and passed on Tua and Herbo... You cant do that again

We currently have same SOS. The second tie breaker is division record which they are 2-3 so we still have #2. Don't forget the Steelers we want them to win too.

Let's hope they can be smart and give us more chances. The draft is a crap shoot as it is so the more chances you have at it, the better the outcome will be. Still need good talent evaluators and coaches that get players to fit their system.

If we do some dumbshit like move up in the draft, we'll be fucked for another decade at least.

Personally I think that if they like a Quarterback there they should take him, but if not trade back 3 picks and take a tackle. I wont be mad either way as long as the GM is doing what he thinks is best, it will be difficult to judge for a couple of years whether the GM actually knows what he is doing.... I do hate the idea of trading up, there is such a talent deficit on this roster I think we need all of the picks we can lay our hands on rather than dropping a superstar QB into a shitstorm and ruining him after 2 years and being back where we started
