So with Wilson who is terrible, but can sometimes have a good game, being out and replaced by Siemian who is worse and never has a good game who do you all think we will pick at pick #8?

I'd love this draft.

4. Marvin Harrison Jr. - WR - Ohio State
36. Cooper Beebe - OG - Kansas State
41. Patrick Paul - OT - Houston
68. Chris Braswell - EDGE - Alabama
96. Ty'Ron Hopper - LB - Missouri
100. Tommy Eichenberg - LB - Ohio State
132. Luke Lachey - TE - Iowa
164. Drake Nugent - OC - Michigan
196. LaDarius Henderson - OT - Michigan

Here's to this man, having the game of his life:

A QB i definitely do not want is a running QB, where his passer ability *can make all the throws* but that’s it…..and his legs are major weapons.

Anthony Richardson, case in point was that type of first round…on a running play, season ending injury to his throwing shoulder. AR plays behind a top notch Oline.

And that's my problem with picking a QB at #4 or even if we pick at #3; we could end up reaching for a guy that is, if we're lucky, the next Lamar Jackson. More likely he's another Fields or Lance. If one of the top 2 QB prospects isn't still available, we take Harrison or one of the 2 LT's, else trade back and take a QB late 1st/early 2nd round. Reaching likely sentences us to another sub .500 season and another attempt next year. A waste.

There is a difference in athletic, off schedule guy who uses his legs to escape, move pocket while keeping his eyes downfield and a guy who is one read, tuck and run. I rather have a guy running more of a traditional offense as well.

I’d be really happy with Maye or Williams

I’d be really worried with the LSU kid…I think he is clearly in the Penix, JJ bracket of QB prospect. Mid first round. Of course only if there is agreement with HC GM and OC…you take your guy at 4-5.

I would not draft Daniels at #4. Heisman trophy winners are notorious for being busts. There are a few exceptions but not many. If we are at #4 and want a QB then we need to trade up. Maybe package Allen with a number 1. If it were me and the top to QB's are taken, then I'm going LT or Harrison Jr

I do not want any QB at #4. Zero. Give me the o-tackle at #4.

Im fine with that but when do you take QB then? Sam Howell isn’t a QB1 so do you keep JB next year as the starter?

We're absolutely drafting a QB. Prepare yourselves.

We will draft a QB, but I don't "absolutely" believe it'll actually be in the first round.

Take one later in the draft. You are aware we have 10 draft picks, right? I'd go with Brissett and let Howell and the draftee battle it out for second string. Not to mention, I haven't yet given up on Howell. Because Howell struggled the past several weeks automatically means he's not a QB1, huh? Maybe he isn't a starting QB, but I still believe that has yet to be determined.

Greg Zuerlein isn't a hero. But he's close.

I liked Howell and rooted for him like we all did and do but the last two weeks are eye opening. Maybe he’s just raw and needs more reps but man he doesn’t see the field well at all and he isn’t patient in the pocket. He also doesn’t see the short field well when guys are in the flat wide open. At the end of the day we know QB is still a need regardless
