The main reason is that he just hasn't been that involved. Only 106 total targets the last two years with Seattle, compared to 177 for Schultz the last two years.

I think Fant would come cheaper and be just as (if not more ) productive here. He's a tad younger, just turning 26 as well.

Either way, can't bank on landing a good TE in the draft, so I think we have to go after one of the top TEs in FA.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Fields should be happy that he's getting out of Chicago. But just not sure there are going to be a lot of suiters for him as far as being a starter is concerned. Maybe
Atlanta or New England.

Caleb is going to go there and he is going to really struggle. I feel like his only shot is when they blow out Euberflus, bring in an offense first coach that can really develop him. Maybe Kingsberry would possibly go after this year.

If you build it (draft Daniels), they (victories) will come.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Is he gonna be the pick?

Gotta figure Williams is going #1, to CHI or someone else...

It's Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels or trade. As much as I'd like a haul of draft picks, it's going to be tough to pass on one of those QBs.

No when you get the chance to draft a highly rated QB you pull the trigger and don't look back.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

I just turned on the Junkies and Quinn was on there. He was describing some of the QB's w/ one word, all nice stuff. But when they asked him about Daniels he said, " game changer" .. In other words, it was obvious that he likes Daniels above the other guys that were mentioned... Maye, Caleb, Howell...

I think they're going to be perfectly happy with taking Daniels at #2.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

If you listen to his reply it could equally point to Maye. Deep ball accuracy was one of the points he mentioned. I think all three QBs are going to be good, I just don't want them to pick one based on a fit with "this years scheme", it should be the best QB regardless of scheme.

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if Kliff will interview for head coach position if our offense plays well this year and/or next year, so Quinn must make sure that we create a system that ensures all players are in the position to play well regardless of who the coordinators are. Quinn actually mentioned this part in one of his media presses, he said he learned this lesson when Kyle left Falcons to become head coach for 49ers and Quinn allowed Kyle's assistants to follow Kyle to 49ers and hired a new offense coordinator who wanted to install a new offense system, this move ended up making things difficult for the offense players.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Just don’t move up and lose draft picks. If you get a guy and he sucks, swing again next year with another pick on a QB.

I think the Trey Lance and Brock Purdy experience lessons matter to Peters.

Why move up for a gamble like Lance? Even if it’s one spot you impact a roster that’s in much more dire need of talent. And you got a starter the next year in Purdy late in the draft. It can be done.

You move up because you think he will be a game changer.
If the team thinks Caleb Williams will be anywhere near Mahomes then you have to make the trade.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl with only one first round pick (Mahomes) starting on offense.
It's by far more important to have an elite QB than any other position by far.

Also, the Trey Lance trade didn't really set SF back. End of the day, they still are stacked with talent.

I see RG3 part 2. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, IF he knows how to protect himself. But in the limited watching that I did, I never saw him slide. And I saw him take a hit exactly like the one that knocked RG3 out.
