I am higher on Ewers than McCarthy. McCarthy had everything a QB could ever need a Michigan: WRs, RBs and a stellar OL. I don't see him as a QB that can put an inferior offense on his back and carry them in the NFL.

As I see it, one more deeper for 2025 because there's no way Tepper will sign off on a QB at #33 in April.

Will Bryce be better than a 2 win QB? Sure. Will he ever be a playoff QB? Never.

Or we don't sign/tag Burns and spend wisely in the FA market. If our new GM wraps that much money up into two better than average, but not elite players, he sucks at his job. We aren't tied to any mega deals and that is not necessarily a bad thing considering we are a 2 win team. You say you understand, but act like we are different that everyone else. Pssst, nobody else has gone through 2024 FA either. So I guess every team is fake cap rich right now, even the teams that are actually cap poor currently.

I swear it looks like 'bring your kid to work day' in that pic.

Second round pick, middle one at that, #48 overall. These two guys should not be in the same sentence.

That one is on my radar too, but if it didn't happen today, it's probably not going to happen.

Yup, our season ended shortly before 4pm yesterday. The offseason it is.

A legit one? Not at all. The rouse this camp gave that away. Bryce took a couple days of first team reps and managed to replace Dalton as QB1? Lol, right!

One less opening. We may just be looking at the current 5 vacancies. If so, that's fewer that most years. I would still keep an eye on Belichick. There's not an urgency to move for Kraft even if that's in the cards.

You don't understand how this works and it shows. NO TEAM has a full roster signed next year at this point, or the year after or the year after that. Yes, we have dead money on the books, but so DOES EVERY OTHER TEAM. The 2024 roster is what it is at the top and again, other teams have under-performing players on the books too. Let me spell this out to you, good teams are generally cap poor because they have top players to pay. Should be we higher? Somewhat, but just because we are a 2 win team doesn't mean we should have the top cap space either. it's not a direct correlation.

The point is he's the victim because he was provoked. That comes back to accountability. Regardless of what an opposing fans say, as the owner of a NFL team, you need to have restraint. Again, I can't stand this douche bag. Ooops, I guess I need a drink thrown on me because of...words.

That's on the GM mainly. The GM acquires the players and the cap guy has to make the numbers work. The next 3 years, in order, we are 13th, 8th and 1st in cap room as it stands today. Not bad at all. Obviously you don't remember the Hurney days when we were always at the bottom in cap space with crazy generous contracts.

Suleiman is our cap guy, correct? Our cap space is the one of the ONLY bright spots on this team.

No accountability and the reason this franchise is doomed until he is no longer the owner.

That's a ++++ for me now. I bought into the young phenom hype at QB in the past and got burned multiple times. I'm over it. There is nothing really all that special about Brock Purdy other one thing, wisdom through reps in games. There is one thing that prepares a college QB for the NFL more than any other and that is game experience. No amount of reps in training camp can duplicate/simulate that for a rookie QB.

I agree, I just don't have to like it. Now if McCarthy is the best one left, I'm not saying take a QB for the sake of taking one and we should pass. If Penix Junior or Nix is there at #33, we'd be dumb not to take a swing. It's a talented/deep draft and if Williams and Maye weren't in it, both of them would be top 10 picks.

Hey, I can hope for a QB at #33, considering the right one is there. Nix is becoming my favorite there now. Penix Junior will be gone, especially if he has a monster game tonight.

Later bro, I wish you well! That said, the man will get paid here and become extremely average.

I'm wanting to see more of the QBs. I have my thoughts on both. McCarthy to me is a system guy who needs a ton of support. In other words, he would SUCK here.

You can say that about any position. You play the odds though, the longer you wait the chances of your pick actually being any good goes down significantly.

Not really, we've taken 3 top QBs and only 7 in other rounds. That's including '10 with a rare (only) double dip. Truth be told, even though Clausen was a second rounder, we took him with the intent of him becoming the franchise QB and the reason we took Pike later in the draft to develop as his backup. So six drafts with swings on developmental QBs in 28 years?

This is why you take swings on QBs after round one. At worst they never develop. At best you find a franchise QB. Then you have the possibilities in between which is a cheap serviceable starter or a decent backup. The point being, we don't take enough swings on QBs in the draft unless we are a top pick to ever develop depth.

And that is all that matters.

Hard to tell With all the DEI going on. If this were ten years ago you would have said she rose through the ranks on merit alone. I'm sure that would be the narrative now, but exactly how accurate would that be?
