Jordan Reed? He ain't overtaking Kittle in SF and would give him a chance to start again. If, BIG IF, he passes his physical with flying colors. Dude was nasty before a rash of injuries derailed his career in Washington.

Dude looked horrible at the Senior Bowl. Purely a road grader. His lateral movement is non-existent.

Here's the thing that most people are overlooking about a TE. Who is usually the #1 security blanket for a rookie QB? That's right, so we better damned well make sure we give our rookie QB a warm, fuzzy woobie! This dude from Seattle will be competing with Thomas as the #2 TE if Fits plays his cards right. Fits, don't pull a Hurn...wait, that was completely uncalled for. My bad.

Well, If we would have addressed this over the past 3-4 drafts like I wanted, we wouldn't be in this predicament, lol. I wanted a TE of consequence since the 2017 draft. Even when we drafted Thomas in the 4th round, I had my doubts about him. Unfortunately this isn't the draft to fix it now. Get an established veteran TE in here on a 2-3 year deal and draft his heir apparent on day 2 next year (2022) to groom.

Don't blame me guys, I swear it was a joke!

Still need a veteran.

A lot of the Senior Bowl guys have day 3 or UDFA grades. I'm all for trading back in the 5th to accumulate more picks. If we get to 10 picks, I'll be happy. That way we can get a guy for every positions I feel we need. Yes, I have mocked it out! More or less in order: QB, OT, CB, C, DT, ILB, DE, CB, S, OG

Some people are freaks. Oh, you meant...

The Browns got an extra 1st, 2nd and 3rd. That was too pricey. The 1st was a given, but the second is where the overkill is especially with the 3rd tacked on. The 1st and 3rd should have worked.

Sure there is. Smoke and mirrors and you guys are taking hook, line and sinker. Teams are talking up QBs to hopefully get some team--see Panthers-- to trade up in order to get the QB that certainly will not be there. I'm talking Jets, Falcons, Eagles and Lions. At TWO of them take a QB, and I'm hedging just one. I've said it once and I'll say it again, QB4 will ABSOLUTELY be there at #8. Whether it is Fields or Lance, I'm not sure, but one of the two.

He's still younger than Fitz-magic.

Seriously, if we miss out on a QB in the draft and a blockbuster deal can't be reached, I wouldn't mind Andy Dalton on a cheap (QB cheap) deal and let him compete with Teddy for the starting spot. If he wins, cut Teddy and he'll be a post June 1 cut by then. The dead cap isn't too bad this season and only $5M in 2022.

Here you go guys, a list of the UFA QBs. Have at it. 2021 UFA Quarterbacks

The thread did say "surprise QB". Jimmy G--Surprise!!!!

Some people are seriously high around here. You don't draft a guy #4 overall and sit him on the bench with no chance at starting. Yeah, I want Lance at #8 and want to slow roll him, but with TB at the helm, crap, Trey might end up winning the job in camp.

Hey, it's a random thread, asking a random question, so I gave a random-@$$ answer.

I have said all along the Falcons are not taking a QB this draft. If they did, it would the local kid Fields, but that is a SLIM possibility.

Calm down guys. QB4 will be there at #8, with an outside shot at QB3 as well. Everyone ahead of us will not draft a QB. Take a chill pill.

Jimmy Garoppolo. We swap first rounders with the 49ers, so we get a starting caliber QB AND the #12 pick to use on a weapon. Oh, they can have TB if they want him, but doubtful.

Eh, we just know what this team needs and where the deficits on this roster lies while being heavily invested in the draft process. The glaring holes are actually fairly obvious unless we are talking about the casual fan, which there plenty of around here on the Huddle masquerading as die-hards.

Everybody missed the one, big omission: The QBs that particpated at the Senior bowl. Who was supposed to go an opted out because of injury? TRASK! Mark it down fellas.

Some folks project Slater a guard because he supposedly has alligator arms. Leatherwood, on many accounts, had a less than desirable Senior Bowl week. Some are projecting him inside or moving over the right. Mayfield has mainly been a RT, correct? Eichenburg's knock is while he's been solid at ND he's an extremely limited athlete. Walker Little's injuries worry me. Big men with multiple lower leg injuries usually is a very bad sign for longevity. We already have a gimpy Little on the OL, we don't need two. With Sewell and Darrisaw going high, I'm hoping that either Cosmi or Randunz will there at #39. If both of them are gone, I'll take Eichenburg. If he's gone, I'm taking BPA at CB and then Little or Jackson in the 3rd round.

I'm banking on it, especially if we take his college QB. Among the top LTs, he is one of the more athletic. He might not be the stoutest or strongest, however that can be addressed with a full NFL offseason. What he does have is natural bend and a smooth kick-slide. Those are traits that the more athletic OTs possess. Some of the bigger dudes labor in their kick-slides and are vulnerable to the outside speed rush. As long as he can anchor on a bull rush in the NFL, I'll be just fine with him.

^^^Oh, lol on the B+ simulator grade. That my friends, is no less than an A. I won't go A+ because I left out WR, a true 3-tech (drafted Sample to move inside to groom as a 3-tech) or a shutdown corner. If it were to happen in real life, I'm doing back flips. This would even top last year's draft.

My contribution for the day.
