If you were there, you know how good the atmosphere can be

Tomlin only has one

Heartbreaking.

Don’t worry he probably still believes that we are trading for Deshaun Watson

Jimmy G was taken in the second and traded for a second rounder 4 years later. Brissett was a third rounder and traded straight up for Philip Dorsett who averaged like 20 yards a game. Not sure how those moves justify taking a backup qb in the second when there are other players who can help your team now.

Good

This is all fair. Just the idea that he wasn’t worth the pick because roughly 3/4 of the teams who had their plan set before the draft “passed on him twice or more” is what I take exception to.

Name a time that this actually has worked (especially since this QB won’t play to show that he’s worth anything unless your starter is injured).

You do if you believe you already have your franchise QB and want to build around him to maximize the window of opportunity that exists before putting the eggs in the basket of an unknown quantity. Here are the other team's situations, I'll put a star beside teams that realistically were expecting to draft a QB Buffalo - Has a franchise QB locked in New England - Just drafted a QB in the first last year Miami - Spent a top 5 pick two years ago on a new QB, it's a make or break year for him New York Jets - Spent a two pick on a QB last year Cincinnati - Has a franchise QB locked in Pittsburgh* - Needs a QB and drafted one in the first round Cleveland - Just gave up a haul to get a franchise QB Baltimore - Have a franchise QB Tennessee* - Tannehill is a question mark enough that Tennessee drafted Willis. You could argue that this may not have been their plan. Indianapolis - Just traded for Matt Ryan. Houston - Just drafted Mills in the 3rd last year, showed enough promise to get a chance to lead during a rebuild Jacksonville - Just drafted a QB number one last year Kansas City - Has a franchise QB locked in Las Vegas - Just extended Carr LA Chargers - Has a franchise QB locked in Denver - Just traded for a franchise QB Dallas - Is paying a good QB like a franchise QB Philadelphia - Hurts was a 2nd rounder two years ago, like Tua he is in a make or break year WFT* - Just traded for Carson Wentz, who they will find out shortly is not a franchise QB. Took a flyer on Howell. NY Giants* - Giving one more try to top 10 pick Daniel Jones with a new coaching staff. Green Bay - Franchise QB that's getting paid 50 million because they pissed him off by trying to find his replacement Minnesota - Just extended Cousins Chicago - Just drafted a QB in the first round last year Detroit* - seem content to use Goff as the bridge QB while they rebuild the rest of the team. Good luck with that. Tampa - Have the GOAT back again and used a 2nd rounder on a QB last year New Orleans* - Guess they want to stick with Jameis? Not sure what they'e doing to be honest Atlanta* - Took Ridder in the 2nd round LA Rams - Just won a superbowl and extended Stafford Arizona - Just mended fences with Murray, no way they were going to take a QB high 49ers - Traded 3 first rounders last year to get a QB Seahawks*- Looks like a complete rebuild after trading Wilson, I guess. I count 8 other teams that were possibly looking at drafting a QB high, not 31 of them.

Do all 32 teams think they needed a QB in the first 2 rounds of this years draft? How many of them did Need a highly drafted QB?

Or things are just overlooked altogether (Mac jones)

Talk about hitting the nail on the head. Fitterer must have read this post!!

Did you just say something positive? Wtf world am I living in right now?

Wonder what the Venn diagram looks like for everyone cracking on corrals off field stuff and people who went on and on about Cam and the laptop in 2011

We had the 32nd pick in the 4th round, no way they’d last another 41 picks

Then surely you remember the time we traded to move up in the second round by dealing a first rounder the following year.

Tell me you haven’t been following this team very long without telling me you haven’t been following this team for very long

Depends on where in the first round the pick was to determine whether it was silly or not

This is how I felt. Even after they drafted him I was dreading seeing something like that we traded him to SF for Garoppolo

He would the WR1 right now on the Packers, Chiefs or the Ravens. With the 49ers and Seahawks seemingly holding on to Deebo and Metcalf who else is out there for those teams to target that are in win now mode?

Baltimore also.

This was basically what he did with every question about Rock Hill.

Yes it’s true. But think of it in football terms, 4 years with no playoff wins (and getting blown out by a combined 56 points in the two playoff games they were in)…what coach would survive that?

Travelle Wharton was decent when he had that job, although he was better as a guard
