Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

The obsession with moving down just for the sake of doing it, needs to be studied.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

The rams did it and what did they get from that Trade with RG3? Basically nothing.

I agree, more picks doesn’t always mean better players

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Getting the QB right is huge, the only thing I know is I don't know. Say what you want, but I am about to watch Mr. Irrelevant battle the 10th pick of the 2017 draft in the Super Bowl. And the 1st QB drafted in the 2017 draft is on his 3rd team.

Our FO and coaching staff has its work cut out to get it right.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

trade down thinking you're getting harrison and penix... end up with joe alt and JJ mccarthy, then what?

If the team leaves the draft without a QB they can sell to the fanbase, they'd be f'ing with the money. You don't want to F with the money.

Everyone can have their own opinions, but it seems weird that when we're finally in the position everyone always talks about, the first thing some people want to do is not take the shot at the best QB available.

We've done late rounders that haven't worked out too (haskins, campbell, ramsey).

CBS has penix as the 32nd best prospect. nfldraftscout has him as #52, espn #46, the other 3 are in the top 8/top 4/top 10.

not to be snarky but we have taken the 2nd QB in the draft too and it got us 1 great season. we need a genie to grant us one wish - a franchise qb

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Andy Reid is one of the best ever.
The difference between his Eagles teams and the Chiefs Dynasty is QB play.
Chiefs traded two 1st and a 3rd to get Mahomes.
Eagles had McNabb throwing grounders.

I don't want to compare Caleb to Mahomes but if the front office thinks Caleb has the same ceiling as the greats, we have to do everything possible to draft him.

7 out of the last 10 Super Bowl winning QBs will be first ballot hall of famers (Brady, P.Manning, Mahomes).
The other 3 QB:
F the eagles and Foles.
Stafford - Possible HOFer - Top tier passer!
Wilson - Looked like a HOFer early on.

Obviously you still need to build a team around the QB but the Chiefs had bums out there catching passes and they still won. Guys like Brady and Manning aren't athletic but they are impossible to pressure because they read defenses so quickly and get the ball out. Purdy struggled in the second half with this. Mahomes didn't.

I'm all in for a franchise QB not just a good QB.
F Maye btw. Those UNC QBs should go straight to jiffy lube.

Agree 1000% on this whole post except the Maye opinion lol

I just don't think the bears will pass up on Williams

Adam S “The Steelers are a potential suitor for Justin Fields this summer”

Looks like the Bears are indeed going to ship him

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

If PFN is any indicator, good chance Patriots or Falcons offer to move up.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

I can’t wait until this draft is over lol. I’m already over the Caleb going to Bears talks. We all know Chicago won’t pass him up. That whole fan base was go bat shit on them if they did

Punch's way of posting the actual download is much better once you figure out how to use it.

I don't know how to add a image directly from my phone to here. I have to upload my image to https://imgbb.com/ then use that link to post it. We all have our strengths.
