I think we'll see during the evaluations if a non-QB rises very high. I don't think there is that player. I think they trade out of the #1 pick, remain in the top 10, and get another 2 first round future draft picks (or equivalent value) and/or a good WR too. Someone else (Krovvy I believe) had suggested Moore plus a couple firsts to move up to #1. It could work. Woulda been more likely if Moore had balled out with Sam today. Woulda really increased his value to have another 1k yard season, but I think it is very easy to argue he's handicapped by terrible QB play.

This team (if healthy, which, yeah) with a good QB and a good HC is a playoff team. Trot Sam out next year with a... what, first round TE? lol ... and we're .500. Or worse

Little...

I like them both but I share your reservations. I think the best years to move up are when there's a sure fire "generational" talent plus a couple of other quite-possibly-great guys. I don't think Stroud or Young have wowed people into the generational category, and the QBs behind those two seem like they're only being mocked near the top because so many teams are desperate for a QB.

I dunno man, by 4 at least the top two QBs are gone, and maybe 3 depending on other moves. This year is hard to move up period, because after Young and Stroud there is a massive drop-off it feels like.

Yup. Tbh, I'm happy with both of these things, which is why I'm not stressing one draft pick position.

depends on our HC choice. I do think Harbaugh could win 10 games with this roster, a slightly better QB, and a couple of upgrades in the draft or FA. But his personality issues etc... Long term success probably greater with a different coach and a more long term QB plan... We'll see.

It's too bad we didn't, but you can't force the players to give up. Darnold, as much as he sucked, basically willed this team down the field on the final drive. As terrible as that may have been for our draft position, I don't really care that much anymore either way - I think we'll get a good player and we'll be in for a bit of development. Maybe we trade up, but I kinda doubt it. I don't think that changes if we were 7, 8, or 9 either.

hilariously we won because despite being unable to complete a pass, Darnold was able to use his legs to get us into FG position where Dalton could not.

Honestly in the greater realm of shitty things that have happened this year, this one game is pretty minor. It was hilariously bad. The bigger thing is getting the HC hire right anyhow, and this game helped solidify how bad Wilks is.

I don't hate Wilks. I have a lot of respect for him. I just don't want him coaching this team next year. He's mediocre. Average. 6-6.

yeah true, could be 2, and yes it sucks to be behind Atlanta, but maybe they'll get a hardon for Ridder after his quite good game today lol

we weren't drafting 6 lol

QB OF THE FUTURE SIGN HIM UP lol the crazy poo is I half expect him to be our starter next year if Tepper hires Wilks. I really do not believe he will but lol that would be the perfect offseason

peak Panthers, haha honestly though whether 7 or 9, whatever. as much as the draft matters I'm far more concerned about who we get as our new HC

Not at all. Win or lose, the team looked terrible.

it isn't, don't worry

Ahahahahah I just don't even care this is hilarious

Ahahaha omg if we win on a fuging long FG I am going to laugh my ass off

Alright Darnold, one more underthrown ball can seal this

WHAT THE fug NEW ORLEANS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

As painful as this has been to watch, this was the best possible outcome. Wilks is going to lose any shot at the job with this showing and Darnold reverted to form to avoid any questions about his future here. We're likely to move up in the draft, awesome

Sam doing what a backup should do: Securing it for his team.

Ahahah I love how the Saints are so very, very bad this game isn't even over.
