This is a terrible, terrible argument. Luke Kuechly, JC Horn, Ikem, Burns, Brown, Moore, Shaq*, Mccaffrey, Cam, and Star were all more than worth it. You can’t cherry pick three random players from 13, 8 and 7 years ago and say “first round picks aren’t worth it”. Everyone wanting this firmly believes Stroud is the franchise savior, I just don’t see it. Where are we getting this franchise saving profile from? He’s good, for sure, but he’s not this home run, knock it out of the park and forget it. In fact, would it shock anyone if he ends up being a Dak level qb? Why aren’t more people on board with keeping future capital intact and taking (more than likely) the available Richardson or Levis. IF Rodgers moved to LV, I don’t think we have to move at all. Sorry, I guess I’m just not fully on board with having no real capital for the next three years.

Didn’t he also toss in Goff as a comp as well? I just think we should temper Stroud expectations just slightly is all.

I personally disagree on this segment entirely. I think he’s got the highest floor with a relatively lower ceiling than the other three (due to the physical stature of Richardson and Levis and the brain and processor of Young). I see the lowest variance in Strouds game (which isn’t a bad thing).

That Matt Miller package is enticing

It’s pretty easy to piece that puzzle together, lol. The other half just ride the wave of what everyone else is saying and doing to make themselves seem like they know what they’re talking about.

I partially think I’m also attached to our firsts because it’s a yearly bbq at my place with all my buddies (live in NJ and have friends of all teams) and the next two years would be empty haha. That with I’m a little less sold on stroud than most. But I do absolutely trust and love the braintrust behind the team now.

I think we will agree to disagree on pricing, which is fine. Differing opinions on an online forum are healthy, lol.

So what do you think it costs to move up and take the qb you think the team likes?

It doesn’t matter what lines me you or the media read between. It’s all up to Reich and Fitt. They HAVE to know, coming out with lofty reports of being in love with a certain prospect in a position where we are, is purely bad business. They very well may love Stroud, why say “we’ll do whatever it takes to get em”. What good does that do for the franchise? Hikes up the asking price of every team in front of us. I sincerely hope the FO takes an honest and diligent approach to what they want to do, not just come out early March after the underwear Olympics and publicly announce our future is mortgaged.

Cool.

I don’t believe this report. There’s been reports on damn near everyone.

Once again; Fields dropped to where he did and the entire class last year dropped further than any media led us onto believe. Obviously this class is different but it’s been proven that media vs front offices do share different perspectives. What good does it do for Reich and Fitt to come out say we really trade everything for Stroud or anyone?

If we sit put at 9 and take Levis, hold that same energy.

Exactly this. Media hype is blowing this out of proportion. The fact that none of them are really separating themselves all that much (all have great reports in their own rights) helps us in terms of being able to be patient.

You were off of him already because the consensus told you to. It’s the “cool” thing to do. Don’t scapegoat a very mild joke into a big deal.

Yeah people are pretty simple. “I don’t want him, take him off of my board” for an obvious joke. But won’t say a peep when their Dak clone looks up to Vick and Watson. Hypocrisy is funny lol.

That’s great lmao.

Was one of my favorite safeties during the golden age of safety- love the hire.

Bryce is the only one worth using future capital on. And even with him, I wouldn’t absolutely sell the farm. This team isn’t in position to. We’ve a few other holes and a defense that’s changing. One of the four will fall.

Can’t be this critical of any of these guys when they’ve had 1/2 a season of Matt Rhule coaching. Pretty bad hand to be dealt.

If Reich, Caldwell, McCown, AND Brown are on board, I’m not gonna sit behind a keyboard and pretend I know more than that braintrust. If it were last regime on the other hand..

If we’re not taking QB and that’s the crop of players left, I’d really like Witherspoon or Gonzalez. Elite young CB on both sides would be dirty.

Has to. He’s more than a body eater and not big enough for constant double teams. Maybe he can provide a little of what Hayward for PIT does.

I think we need to nab Mazi or Gervon in round two as our nose tackle. I don’t think /want Brown excels in a Nt role. I’m a lot less worried about ILB than I am with the hand in dirt players.

I genuinely think Stroud will be there later than we think and won’t cost a move up to one.
