2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Key is Ron isn't making the decisions anymore.

Peters worked with Mahew in SF, and it's too late right now to make big changes in the front office anyway.

Ron did the same thing when he first came in, it wasn't until his 2nd year he started making changes.

Mayhew is a former Skin, I hope it works out for him. Always nice to have former players in the organization. He's now probably the happiest man in Ashburn, doesn't have Snyder or Rivera dragging him down. Possibility for a fresh start. Won't really know how it went until after the draft though.

I think trying to hire a new scouting department and FO would be a disaster right before FA and draft. That said I am confident Peters has external people he is leaning on and Shen will work his magic.

I am not sold we are moving from 2 to 1 and I am not worried about it because if they are that confident the only way to get the only QB in the draft that will be elite caliber is to draft 1, that if you draft #2 you will not get an NFL caliber starter, then you have to do it no matter what.

You realize that Peters has kept everyone that was under Ron, including Mayhew and Hurney.


Under Ron is not the same as under Peters. Ron had zero business making personnel decisions.

Two ACLs already in college.. Not good


Yeah I wish him all the best. Seems like a great kid, but I wouldn’t draft him unless he was sitting there in the fifth round or something. Injured a lot and I simply do not like lefties. Yes there have obviously been good ones but their motion seems so slow and unnatural it makes me nervous. Lol.

I get the feeling Penix is one of those guys that could be drafted much later than he's projected.

SI's Albert Breer pulled out the Kliff Kingsbury card during an interview for CHGO.

"Kliff loves, loves, loves, loves Caleb Williams," Breer said. "Kliff said to me on the record that the comparisons to he and Patrick Mahomes are eerie. It's eerie how similar they are."

Not that I am a chess player but

a. Kliff interviews with Chicago and discusses vision and learns their vision
b. Kliff ends up as OC in Washington knowing Chicago's vision.
c. Kliff tells everyone how similar Caleb is to Patrick

I think Kliff likes a guy and his name is not Caleb

My estimated odds:

30% - Trade up to No. 1
60% - Pick best BPA at QB at No. 2
10% - Trade down for more picks
