Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Watched Caleb live a handful of times at OU. He’s special, he makes throws that most QBs can’t make. He’s also tougher than people think, he takes and delivers hits.

If we are at number 2 and he’s there I wouldn’t pass him up. The Risk Reward is too high to pass a potential Elite QB up. Sam Howell is a good player but what’s his ceiling? Baker Mayfield? Caleb could be a Hurts, Rodgers type Guy.

I know we need alot but we also need a face of the future. Something to look at

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

IF we want Caleb we probably need to trade with the bears, which makes me think trading CY and MS was too load more ammo into that trade gun to give to the bears.

Shit we could have even said give us a 2nd for MS and we are going give it right back to you at the draft.

I've been saying this since the trades happened.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

1. Maye
2. Penix or Daniels (can't decide who I like more. 2 completely different styles. Hell, then even throw w/ different hands)
4. Williams

I like to do my crying in the privacy of my own home by myself lol. Haven't got around to painting my nails yet. That seems a little too fetch for me.

Also, LOL, at "I don't care if the QB wears a thong". Good one.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

What's more important the System or the player ? Does anyone think Dak is a top
Level QB? Hurts is a solid QB but they can't go but so far giving up points like they did to Dallas .. Purdy was last player in draft selection .Bryce Young first player selected..Sam played Big time college Ball and has seen everything the NFL has to this point . His supporting cast is dismal and still he has showed great potential.. If we had used a number one pick on him would we be talking about yet another number one pick QB ?? Let's take a page out of San Fran and build a team around the QB and give him a chance .. We never ever seem to learn .. Right now who would you pick Bryce Young or Purdy ?? There is no way this team can afford a swing and miss with our top pick .. and it's at best a 50/50 gamble with a QB .. What is it that Sam can't do ?? He can Run .. he has enough arm strength to throw it deep .. he is tough as nails .. his team mates love him .. he is coachable .. yes he has struggled but what QB wouldn't with the WORST Oline in league .. and always playing from Behind because we have WORST D in league.. AND WORST coaching staff in league ... yea that is a blueprint for success 😳. If we don't Upgrade significantly the Oline and get TE and won't matter if we have the number one overall pick ..

Selecting a QB in the first round doesn't mean that we are not going to attempt to fill other roster needs. That whole argument is getting old.

Even with a trade, we're likely to have draft picks to fill needs, and we'll have $90 million dollar of cap room to fill any roster needs.

You know what this team has not had since Joe Gibbs' second stint as coach? A GM and HC having the ability to pick their own QB without Snyder meddling in the decision.

And again, I'm not saying we HAVE to draft a QB with the first round pick. But I don't get this strong opposition from fans to the notion of this happening.

I think both of these posts are on point. We make way too much of draft position in assessing how to slot needs. The need to find good QB’ing is never satisfied, and if they really like a guy, pick him wherever he’s available, high or low.

At the same time, this organization has been terrible at developing players into a cohesive and successful system. Howell is smart and has good skills and toughness. If the new bosses like him and they don’t like who’s available when they are picking, fine. Just have a plan and keep extraneous bullshit out of it.

Find myself agreeing with this. Yes, we have to think about a QB IF the right guy is available, and it would be hard to overlook Harrison if he too is available. But at #4 (likely) and unlikely to find the top 3 willing to trade with us, Alt or Fashanu make total sense.

Not sure about Jackson with the 2nd pick, but he does make sense with Alt. And it would mean they only need to find a replacement RT in free agency to have a totally rebuilt line.

Still like us to address WR, a backup QB, and improved depth all round, but a draft like this and good use of FA could put us in a competitive position next season.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Harrison, Alt, and Fashanu would all be awesome additions. I will exit day 1 with a smile on my face if we got any one of them. And Howell would definitely be smiling!

I read today Fashanu hasn’t given up a sack his entire collegiate career. Insane

42. Sedrick Van Pran, OC - Georgia
68. Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE - Texas
96. D.J. James, CB - Auburn
100. Tommy Eichenberg, LB - Ohio State
132. Khyree Jackson, CB - Oregon
164. Jordan Jefferson, DT - LSU
196. Ashton Gillotte, EDGE - Louisville
