2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

so what? never draft a QB?

there's never really a super fire pick. Aaron Rogers fell to 26, purdy was last, ryan leaf flamed out, peyton started 1-15.

If you don't have a QB and do nothing to get a QB, you're guaranteeing another tanked season. And I doubt your odds of hitting go up by waiting until the 2nd or 3rd round.

Rebuilding without a plan at QB isn't great, and there's no guarantees we'll be in a better position to get "the guy" next year.

Every thing you say here is fair, and I applaud your optimism.

For me, it boils down to this. Jayden Daniels is not a ready made NFL QB. By your own optimistic opinion, you think he may someday mature to be.

Now ask yourself this, is a project QB worth the #2 pick. Before you answer this, know that the #2 pick MUST BE a slam dunk. (Think how whiffing on Chase Young instead of picking Herbert or Tua sunk our ship as opposed to steep rising of fortunes)

Now, assuming that you see the logical fallacy of project QB at #2 is a huge gamble, but the VALUE of trading some other poor bastards that are enamored with said pick. That pick is Uber valuable, and can be parlayed into multiple high value picks that can immediately rebuild our team in a new and favorable position.

Just my 2 cents. HTTR

you are using too much hindsight in that statement, find a pre draft report of CY that didn't say he wasn't the best thing ever, everyone was all over his jock

We didn't pick Tau or Justin because ownership was in love with Haskins

Justin might have done well here, maybe. Tau has risen because of his current head coach, i am pretty sure Tau been a bust under RR

I don't think anyone's saying that, but if the consensus at Commies Park is that none of the top 3 qb's are worth a top 2 pick then look at backup plans like trading down, etc. I'm sure there's a qb they are bound to like in the draft. I'm starting to lean in this direction too - all of them have flaws, but some are fixable and some aren't. Whatever Peters and co. decide I trust them.

That's a key, do you have a QB whisperer on staff (or incoming...) that can get the best out of one of these guys. Mahomes and Reid, Brady and Bilichick, Walsh and Montana/Young, Gibbs and N.E. One. It doesn't matter how talented they are, if they are poorly coached they'll fail.

Johnson got a damned good season out of Goff, despite everyone having written him off once LA traded him. If he comes here, hopefully he can do the same, whoever we pick up.

I'll be shocked if they don't take a qb at 2.

I want Storm Duck on my wall, I need Storm Duck on my wall.

I have a question. When you don't pick Daniel's at number two where does he usually fall to?

Usually top 10

I just did five different mocks. He went 1 to Chicago, 8 twice to ATL, 15 to Tampa, and 3rd to NE. The closer it gets the more I am hoping, no praying, that we trade back into the top 10 somewhere and still get him.

I can see a scenario like that unfolding, maybe for Daniels, and maybe for another QB the new regime may be enamored with.

That would be pretty sweet actually, to load up on picks and still get the QB you want.

Traded back with ATL here, got an extra pick and their 1st and 2nd next year…..
Took Daniels at 8.

Traded down again later and got another extra pick.
