Agree

Take the QB at 2 and find a good T in the 2nd

Now that we know the bears are taking Williams it’s down to JD and Maye. I’m still leaning JD

Same. I like Daniels’s intangibles more. His weight, and his upright running style, are my only two concerns.

It worked for Michael Johnson lol

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

The trades of Chase Young, Montez Sweat and Sam Howell look great to me now. I didn’t see it at the time, but now….
Nine draft picks in a good draft.
Six picks in the first three rounds.
Three picks in the top 40. Have we ever had so much valuable draft capital?
Especially after seeing Chase Young in SF still not being able to do the most basic thing well…stop the run/gap control. It was exposed for everyone to see. SF will/has moved on signing Leonard Floyd. Plus with Chase Youn and Sweat in big contract year coming up and they were not excelling on the field, smart move by our new FO.
I like where we are and headed as a team. I have not been able to say that in a long time.
Fucking Dan Snyder is GONE in disgrace!
After we take our QB with first round pick….we pick OL, CB and LB all day. Or BPA.

He showed in Chicago that he can be a force, And I think Quinn's defense could really have used him. Young was definitely worth trading and Howell was clearly a good value for the trade.

bottomline, I don't think Chicago's pick can make up for Sweat's value. I hope this front office proves me wrong.

It makes up for it when you consider the cost of the contract and how many of the guys we have been able to sign using that cap, and more we will be able to sign over the next 3 years

Trading our two 2ds and a 5th isn't really trading too much to get one of the top 2 tackles.

You can argue that 1-4 are borderline bust.

TLaw hasn’t lived up to his hype at all.

I’d probably say 7 of these 32 picks are legit really good players

The draft is a crap shoot.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

There's definitely a bunch of busts on there

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

TL is not a bust at all. A bust is RG3, Heath Shuler, Lance and Zach Wilson. He's a starting QB in the league but he just isn't one of the best. I never thought he was going to be great based off of in college he wasn't a pinpoint passer like Burrow became. Great athlete, and like I said, he is a starter but probably mid tier. He is tough as nails, I like TL, you can win w/ him.

I think Daniels will probably be similar to TL. I don't think he's going to be an elite starter, but perhaps a good to really good.

I still stand by Michael Penix. He just has that "IT" factor when the ball comes off his huge hands. He needs a line. You gotta give him some deep threats.. I love the maturity, mental toughness and the elite arm. The Vikings should draft him.

Exactly. This FO and coaching staff is able to get their players.
Not the players somebody else wanted. What I see so far is they are picking up Dan Quinn’s and his staff’s type of player.
Plus they added veteran leaders like Bobby Wagner to help teach Dan Quinn’s system to the many young guys coming in from the draft.
That is so important.

And Lawrence has them 8-3 and the #1 seed before he got hurt.

The relevance of the current status of the first three picks from this past draft shines a bright light on our situation in this draft. Lawrence was considered by many to be a future superstar and he was drafted first. To date, he hasn't developed as expected. The other two who were drafted second and third have careers that are in disarray now and they are no longer with the teams that drafted them.

So yes, take your best shot with the No. 2 pick and hope to get your Franchise QB. Do not risk trading away the farm to move up to No. 1 only to be disappointed.
