The Too Soon 2022 NFL Draft Thread

[Redskins 2021]

Henike will be a great back up he just can't get it done every week. Sounds like people want to draft someone. I am ok with that but we need to bring a veteran in as well. I like M. Marrota he similar to Henike but runs and throws better. Problem is injuries. If we get the mississippi kid or pitt kid with this may be ok. Not my first choice but most likely outcome though.

Super user friendly way to do a mock draft:

The trade proposals are unrealistic for the most part. But the players are ranked.

I almost want to lose both games to a) get a higher pick and b) assure the Eagles picks have less value. Almost.

NY have already said that Jones is back next year, and Philly have all but committed to Hurts (who unlike Jones, seems to have improved somewhat recently). If either looks at QB that high in this draft, especially given their obvious problems in the OL department, it's going to make them look dysfunctional. Hell, if they want to reach for a QB or even trade up, let them; anything that sets them back helps us.

Yes we need a QB, but that's not our only need, so if a value pick at QB isn't there when we pick in rd1 etc., then take the BPA especially if he's a LB or S, or even trade down. But certainly do not trade up or reach for any QB in this draft. We didn't last year, when there were options available (at least for a trade up) so why would we trade up this year with a far weaker QB class?

We signed Fitzpatrick in March before the draft. I assume we would have been more aggressive for Mac Jones if we didnt already do that.

I dont study or know Corral or Pickett but if the staff likes one of them, ideally Corral falls to us at no. 9 or wherever we draft. I wouldnt be against trading up a few spots if it means securing Corral.

Derek Carr - under contract w Raides next year, says he doesnt want to go anywhere and wed have to trade 2 1R plus a 3R to get him, then have to sign him to a massive contract. I like Carr but not at that cost.

Mariotta/Ryan/retreads -- no thank you. That doesnt actually solve the problem.

----------

ideally, in order:

Draft Corral (throw in a 2023 2R if needed to move up a spot or 2)
Trade for watson (who wont come here anyway)
Draft Pickett
Tank 2022 .. absolutely just tank it.

Given where we are likely to pick I would rather draft a stud at LT/S/CB and then trade back into the bottom third of the 1st round (as we did for Montez Sweat)for one of the available quarterbacks, if they really believe he has talent. May cost us a second next year to do but but if they like the guy and they think he can be a
(But not likely the) solution long term then I would be OK with that. Regardless of what real value you place on them you will need to be picking them in the first round if you want one. Regardless, they will need to spend FA dollars to fill many other holes

[Redskins 2021]

I would not move up for a QB. What I am afraid of is the amount of talent Philadelphia and New York will have coming in with there multiple first round picks could hurt us bad if we don't have a QB who can cover up some of are problems. I think if we don't get an upper to mid-level QB we could fall behind both of them. We had three games Green Bay, Denver, and KC with better offense and QB play I think we would have won those games.

We can’t eff around if we like someone at the QB spot…I’d say go get that guy if everyone is in agreement

Agreed .. I dont want to trade a ton of capital if we have to move up but this draft sounds like Corral might fall to us or be within a few spots.

Agreed got to find a QB. If we continue to just draft BPA will will be early 2000s Bears. A solid defense, okay offense and maybe a division title or two.

[Redskins 2021]

What do we have to trade to get this unknown QB. If we are going after a top QB do we have to give up some of the defensive line players. What kind of value do are players have against first round picks from other teams.

Me personally I dont think its realistic to think a Rodgers, Wilson or even Watson would be traded here. Perhaps Derek Carr but not for 2 1Rs plus 3R then having to sign him to a mega deal.

Realistic options:

1. draft one of the top QB prospects
2. Sign a vet placeholder like Marriota and enjoy another year of bottom 5 offense
3. Go with TH or Allen and enjoy another year of bottom 5 offense

Theres no great option.

[Redskins 2021]

I dont mind paying the extension for a new upper level QB. I think we are definitely going to have to open the wallet if we are to get any of the upper or even upper mid level QB.

PFF projected top FAs. Who knows who will get deals or tagged prior to the start of FA. Some nice fits. We only have around 35 players under contract for 2022 so we need to fill the roster with big additions and lots of depth.

FA starts March 16.

The problem is you never know with Ron, he doesn’t have a good history of drafting QBs.. Cam Newton was the best player available that year so he had no choice but to take him.

Ron has also said in the past that a rookie QB would have to be special not to pass up..

At the end of the day if we go into 2022 with TH and some other Veteran like Mariota we will be fucked
