It’s the huddle man what are you expecting brother haha

Would be sad to see Shaq gone, is he worth his current salary…no, but is he a good linebacker and one of our leaders…yes! If he wants to take a pay cut and come back then more power to him it’s not like we don’t need him, we are thin at LB.

Damn right brother! Both have that rare ability where they can truly push the ball downfield in crucial moments!

This is pretty crazy but I’m loving it

Young is special, would be estatic with either him or Stroud.

DAMN RIGHT! KEEP POUNDING! The day has come where excitement is filling the fan base again! I’m really excited to go see our new franchise qb take the feild in person, haven’t gone to a game since the Cam reunion game.

Cheap bet like Robert Woods would be a really nice get!

Stroud or Young would be very disappointed if we took Levis.

Processing this holy poo what the fug did not see this happening this soon, atleast we know we’re gonna get our guy! Huge move!! Wishing the best for this move!

I would be totally fine with that, my only question is if he is that much of an upgrade over our current group. I totally think he would be our TE1 but he kinda fits the mold we already have of good blocking Tight Ends but limited as a receiver. My ideal scenario would be to take a high receiver floor TE in Kincaid, Musgrave, or Laporta later.

Why do we have such a history with this it’s infuriating.

Playing time plays a factor in increasing the value of the pick for the team they sign their next contract for. I don’t think playing time for the original team their leaving plays a role but I could be wrong.

Agreed, can’t believe I forgot to include the picks we traded for Darnold. But, great point trading up is going to put such an emphasis on hitting on our later round picks which is now much harder with how much less picks we have/lower quality depth due to consistent years of trading away lower round picks for nothing.

I never understood why we actually cut Baker, yes it was probably the admirable thing to do for Baker as he wasn’t going to start going forward. Yet, we still gave up our 2024 5th for him, and had we let him just ride the bench and play out his contract. Then this offseason we could have potentially recouped the value we lost in terms of a comp pick. Nit picking here, but man we trade away our later round picks for a whole lotta nothin. Combined with the 6th we gave for half a season of Stephon Gilmore, the third for CJ Henderson, the third this year we used with our third last year to trade up for Matt Corall(got fleeced), if we weren’t so desperate for all these later round picks because of those trades, maybe we wouldn’t have had to trade CMC.

He’s a career 99.6 passing rating with over a 2-1 TD to interception ratio, he is not trash by any means.

Not really considering it’s a 3 year deal, drafting a QB this year almost negates their advantageous rookie contract. Beyond that having more players at a position especially of the caliber Geno played last year reduces the chances of drafting a player at the same position. Adding in Pete Carrols age, he’s most likely hitching his wagon to Geno and investing in him for his last chance at another ring. I could see them taking a QB at 5 but pick 5 is by no means the floor for Anthony Richardson. His price is at an all time high after the combine, I expect it to revert a small bit once scouts hear themselves back towards assessing tape.

Personally I think his floor is us at 9, Seattle just resigned Geno so the urgency to take a QB might not be there. But if Richardson dropped to 9 there’s no damn way he’s getting past us.

Sleeper team for Lamar is the Colts, their new head coach turned Hurts into an mvp caliber QB. Imagine what he could scheme up with Lamar’s speed with a solid Colts oline.

this is a very useful thread

Anthony Richardson is a freak, draft him at #9. Kid is special!

Has all the upside in the world, cannon of an arm, 6’4 with a filled out 234 pound frame that could probably hold another 5 lean, speed to shred defenses. If there’s a guy you shoot your poo with its this guy, it’s not even boom or bust worst case he’s a top 3 running qb out the gate and is a gadget guy. If he hits though we’re talking a top 5 QB who could carry an offense ala Cam Newton. I never thought we would see a prospect reminiscent of Cam but here we are. I miss watching a freak athlete behind center, I was nine years old when he got drafted and he’s the biggest reason I fell in love with this team.

Transition to 3-4 could be rough but on the other hand Brian Burns would go absolutely ballistic.

Keep pounding

Not from us
